I went to the ophthalmologist because I had inflammation in my eye due to conjunctivitis.

One day, suddenly, my eyes became bloodshot and it was very itchy.

I went to the nearby ophthalmology clinic and received treatment.

I didn't know the cause, but both eyes were itchy and painful.

I was secretly worried because I haven't acted differently at all.

I went to the ophthalmologist because I thought there was a serious problem with my eye.

They prescribed medication for conjunctivitis and also prescribed artificial tears.

After taking medication and applying artificial tears, it has significantly improved.

Because it's eyes, I was really worried.

 

I looked up what conjunctivitis is.

Conjunctivitis is said to be an inflammation of the conjunctiva.

The causes of conjunctivitis include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and atopy.

There are chemical products, ultraviolet rays, and dust.

The precautions are as follows.

It is advised not to touch or vigorously rub your eyes when you have conjunctivitis.

Initially, ice packs are used to relieve pain, and sunglasses are needed when going out.

I also used an ice pack, and I'm relieved that I won't be going out for the time being.

It was difficult and challenging during the first few days.

There are no complications after conjunctivitis treatment, and it gradually improves.

First, it is recommended to rinse with saline solution or relieve symptoms with artificial tears.

I was going to wear an eye patch because someone else was wearing one, but I gave up.

Fortunately, please do not wear an eye patch as it could lead to secondary bacterial infection.

 

The treatment for conjunctivitis is ice compresses, but you should not rub your eyes.

Treat with eye drops, as rinsing with salt water worsens the symptoms.

Be careful because putting saltwater disinfectant into your eyes can worsen the symptoms.

I was wondering if conjunctivitis is contagious.

It is transmitted through contact between people.

It can be transmitted by touching the eyes or with contaminated hands.

During the first two weeks after onset, there is a high contagiousness, so please be careful.

I have conjunctivitis, so I will use a separate towel and avoid facing each other.
