Early in the morning after waking up, Ms. Wang found that the eyes are red, open all feel very uncomfortable, and accompanied by a lot of eye droppings. After work, colleagues have said that her eyes have become “rabbit eyes”, everyone avoided her, afraid to approach. Ms. Wang hurriedly took time off work and went to the ophthalmology department of the Chinese Hospital. After examination, the ophthalmologist told her that this is “acute conjunctivitis”, which is commonly known as pink eye. High temperature days increased red-eye reporters learned from a number of hospitals, the recent significant increase in red-eye patients. “Sometimes several colleagues in a unit, several members of a family, several students in a class will be sick one after another.” Xiamen Chinese Hospital Ophthalmology Dr. Li Xiujuan analysis, may be due to the continuous high temperature for many days, bacteria, viruses are more active, coupled with inappropriate use of cooling methods (such as air conditioning temperature is too low) caused by the cold, the body’s immunity is reduced, while the complication of pink eye. Although pink eye generally does not affect the patient’s vision, regular treatment for two weeks can be cured, but also can not be underestimated the danger of pink eye, if not timely treatment or improper treatment methods, but also lead to chronic conjunctivitis. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in contact with the items that have been touched by the red-eye patients, which have these pathogens. If a patient with conjunctivitis swims in a pool that is not effectively disinfected, it can be transmitted to others who swim there. Its main symptoms include red, itchy eyes, easy tearing, photophobia and a feeling of discomfort, and in severe cases, redness, swelling and pain. Doctors recommend that patients with pink eye should not go swimming in public swimming places, and swimming pools must be changed and disinfected in a timely manner according to regulations. We try to choose the regular swimming places with good water quality and less pollution to swim. Wearing goggles when swimming can effectively isolate the water and eye contact, reducing the chances of infection germs. After swimming, people promptly wash their faces and bathe with clean water. For people who often have conjunctivitis after swimming, eye drops with antibiotics can be prescribed for use after each swim according to the doctor’s instructions, which has a certain preventive effect. Treatment should be isolated as much as possible Dr. Li Xiujuan reminded that patients should try to isolate treatment: one bottle of eye drops for one person, not mixed; patients with one eye need to use the lateral position, the lowest position of the affected eye, to prevent contamination of the other eye; do not rub the eye with your hands to prevent cross-infection. When someone in the family has red eye, remember not to share basins and towels. Be sure to wash your hands after contact with the patient before touching other items to cut off the transmission route. With pink eye, many patients like to cover up, but experts warned that patients with the disease should not use hot towels on the eyes, the affected eye can not be covered. “After covering, it is not conducive to the smooth drainage of secretions from the conjunctiva.”
