As the monsoon season arrives, the risk of conjunctivitis, commonly known
as “pink eye,” increases. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the
conjunctiva, the thin, transparent layer covering the white part of the eye
and inner eyelids. It is highly contagious and can spread easily through
direct contact, contaminated surfaces, or respiratory droplets. To prevent
conjunctivitis this season, it is crucial to practice good hygiene.
Regularly wash your hands with soap and water, especially before touching
your eyes. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes with unwashed hands, as it
can facilitate the transmission of germs. Additionally, avoid sharing
personal items like towels or eye makeup with others. If you develop
symptoms such as redness, itching, discharge, or blurred vision, consult an
eye specialist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Taking preventive
measures and maintaining good eye hygiene can significantly reduce the risk
of conjunctivitis during the monsoon season.
