Explanation:
Conjunctivitis
it is the name for inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is the thin layer of tissue on the inside of the eyelids and which covers the white part of the eye. Also known as pink eye, conjunctivitis is often caused by a virus.
symptoms:-
Pinkness or, often, intense redness of the eye
Burning, a sensation of grittiness, or mild pain or discomfort in the eye
Watery discharge from the eye
Swollen and/or reddened eyelids
Other symptoms of viral infection, e.g. sore throat, runny nose and other cold symptoms
prevention:-
Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Wash them especially well before and after cleaning, or applying eye drops or ointment to, your infected eye. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean hands.
Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes. This can worsen the condition or spread it to your other eye.
With clean hands, wash any discharge from around your eye(s) several times a day using a clean, wet washcloth or fresh cotton ball. Throw away cotton balls after use, and wash used washcloths with hot water and detergent, then wash your hands again with soap and warm water.
Do not use the same eye drop dispenser/bottle for your infected and non-infected eyes.
Wash pillowcases, sheets, washcloths, and towels often in hot water and detergent; wash your hands after handling such items.
Stop wearing contact lenses until your eye doctor says it’s okay to start wearing them again.
Clean eyeglasses, being careful not to contaminate items (like hand towels) that might be shared by other people.
Clean, store, and replace your contact lenses as instructed by your eye doctor.
Do not share personal items, such as pillows, washcloths, towels, eye drops, eye or face makeup, makeup brushes, contact lenses, contact lens storage cases, or eyeglasses.
Do not use swimming pools
