The city this year after the volcano hot and rainy, all kinds of eye diseases also climbed – swimming pool summer, inadvertently suffered from pink eye; long stay in the air-conditioned room, eye dryness and fatigue, vision began to decline; always rubbing eyes, steal the needle eye to come to the door. Since the beginning of summer, these three types of eye diseases account for more than 40% of the eye patients coming to the city’s nine hospitals. Acute catarrhal conjunctivitis is often referred to as “pink eye”. The disease is highly contagious, as long as there is a history of contact may develop, and the onset of rapid, bacteria generally incubate 1-2 days after the simultaneous or sequential onset of both eyes. If you are infected with pink eye, do not be anxious, because the vast majority of red eyes do not cause permanent damage to vision. You should go to the hospital promptly and not use your own medication at home. If you are diagnosed with pink eye, you can use antibiotic drops like levofloxacin, ofloxacin, tobramycin, gatifloxacin, etc. In the eyes of the general public, the first reaction to red eyes is to have “pink eye”, need to go to the hospital with eye drops point, in fact, in medical terms, red eyes is only a sign, the technical term called conjunctival congestion, the most common cause of conjunctival congestion is conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis can be classified as bacterial conjunctivitis, viral conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, etc. Usually, acute or subacute bacterial conjunctivitis caused by more virulent bacteria, such as S. pneumoniae, S. aureus or Haemophilus influenzae, can cause more severe symptoms and is called “acute catarrhal conjunctivitis”, which is This is what we call “pink eye”. In summer, when people dress less and sweat more, some public objects, such as bus handrails, elevator handrails, elevator buttons, door handles, etc., are relatively moist after adhering to body fluids, which is conducive to the survival and reproduction of bacteria, and pathogenic bacteria can be spread among people through these public objects. If we do not pay attention to hygiene, often rub our eyes with dirty hands, when the body resistance is weak, it is easy to cause “pink eye”. The correct approach to red eyes Red eyes often develop in both eyes at the same time or 1-2 days apart, so when using eye drops, even if only one eye develops, the other eye also needs eye drops. Red eyes generally peak at 3-4 days after the onset of the disease, so do not go to the hospital to re-prescribe eye drops after a day of feeling no improvement, but should use them for three days in a row, and consider whether you need to change the medication only after three days of no improvement. It should also be noted that pink eye is very contagious, so if you get pink eye, you must pay attention to isolation, do not share towels and other hygiene items with your family, and wash your hands regularly. Finally, pay attention to eye care, except for eye drops as prescribed by the doctor, the affected eye does not need to be bandaged, and pay attention to cleaning out the secretions in the eye in a timely manner. If there is a patient with pink eye around, you should pay attention to isolation to avoid being infected; when one eye is sick, the other eye should use antibiotic drops prophylactically to prevent cross-contamination; towels, washbasins, handkerchiefs and other personal items used by the patient should be disinfected. Personal items such as towels, basins and handkerchiefs used by patients should be disinfected. Due to the popularity of air conditioning, many white-collar workers are in an air conditioned environment for a long time, the air is dry, evaporation from the eye surface increases significantly, and when working on the computer for a long time, it is easy to have dry eyes, intermittent blurred vision, foreign body feeling in the eyes and other uncomfortable symptoms, which are all manifestations of dry eye. The doctor recommends that we use air conditioners less often, use air humidifiers appropriately to improve air humidity, keep some green leafy plants to improve indoor air quality, close the eyes more often to rest, and use artificial tears to improve symptoms for patients with severe symptoms. Macrophthalmia, commonly known as the eye of the needle, is a painful eyelid infection caused by bacteria in the lid gland. Due to the hot and humid summer climate, it is easier for bacteria to grow, and if you do not pay attention to personal hygiene, rubbing your eyes with dirty hands may cause mydriasis. It is recommended that antibiotic eye drops and hot compresses be applied to the eye to promote inflammation, and that the eye be treated with an incision and drainage if it has become pus-filled. Allergic conjunctivitis With the current increase in air pollution and high summer temperatures, allergens in the air are also active and allergic conjunctivitis is becoming more common. Patients with allergic conjunctivitis experience symptoms such as itching, dryness and conjunctival congestion after their eyes have been exposed to allergens. It is recommended that once these symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital to get anti-allergy eye drops to treat them, and not just buy some so-called “anti-inflammatory” eye drops and use them blindly. Because if the medicine is not the right one, it is not only useless, but may even aggravate the allergy symptoms.
