During this special time period, high fever, nasal congestion, sore throat, headache, etc. are unavoidable, and some citizens even have eye pain after becoming "yang"! Many people will ask, after being "yang", can they wear their contact lenses and so on. The reporter learned from the ophthalmology department of the hospital that recently, many citizens came to the hospital for medical treatment after suffering from symptoms of discomfort wearing contact lenses, and many citizens even had conjunctivitis.
The doctor told reporters that during the period of infection with the new crown, the eye resistance will decrease, and the chance of eye complications will increase. Therefore, it is recommended that myopic citizens do not use contact lenses during this period, and should use frame glasses instead to reduce contact lenses. cornea to avoid further bacterial infection.
Gao Wensheng, attending ophthalmologist at the Third People's Hospital of Huizhou City, said: "It is not recommended to wear it when the eyes are uncomfortable, especially when you have a cold and fever, and your body resistance is relatively weak. However, some patients do not pay attention to this problem and continue to wear invisible Glasses, keratitis and conjunctivitis are prone to appear at this time."
It is understood that the conjunctiva is the barrier between the eyes and the air. When the conjunctiva is functioning normally, it can block the invasion of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. But if, after the "yang", you don't pay attention to hand hygiene, often rub your eyes, it is easy to cause conjunctivitis due to contact transmission, which makes the original security guards forced to go offline, so some people after "yang" , may induce conjunctivitis, redness, dryness, stinging, foreign body sensation or increased secretions of the eyes.
Gao Wensheng, attending ophthalmologist at the Third People's Hospital of Huizhou City, said: "After being infected with the new crown, the eyes will feel a lot of discomfort, dryness, burning sensation, photophobia, sore eyes, and eye pain. Everyone has experienced these, not just the new crown. After infection, it is not recommended to use contact lenses, we have a cold, fever, and during women's menstruation, when the body is not so good, we do not recommend using contact lenses."
Of course, in addition to paying attention to whether contact lenses can be worn, doctors suggest that everyone should pay more attention to how to take care of their eye health and scientifically relax their eyes during the epidemic.
