12 Tips to prevent eye infection?

An eye infection is usually caused by bacteria or a virus. Eye infections include styes, conjunctivitis, trachoma etc. and can occur in any age group.

Eye care for computer users

If are into a job that requires working on computers for long hours, do take off your eyes from computer at regular intervals and have an anti-glare screen set on your computer.

While working for long hours, look at distant objects either in your office or outside. Looking at a distant object and then returning to your task helps your eyes focus better. Try taking such visual breaks for about five to 10 minutes every hour.

Have separate towels

Ensure that each member of your family has separate towels. Eye infections like trachoma and conjunctivitis are transmitted through common towels and handkerchiefs.

Don't share eye make-up

Do not share your eye makeup kit and do not use eye makeup until the infection is fully cured. Sharing makeup means you are also sharing bacteria and thus giving an open invitation to eye infections.

Take antibiotics with prescription

If you are taking medicines or antibiotics to manage other health problems, take it with doctor's prescription because some medicines might cause eye infection.

Wash your eyes frequently

Wash your eyes and eyelids with an eye scrub and fresh water properly. If washing it with a eye scrub is not possible, at least wash your eyes with fresh water at frequent intervals right through the day. Dirty eyelids can lead to an eye infection.
