The much-awaited monsoon, which offers a welcome break from the oppressive heat, is accompanied by a mixed bag of joy and misery because, while the raindrops dance joyfully, our eyes frequently find themselves unable to keep up with the celebration because it is once again that time of year when seasonal eye allergies and infections make an unwelcome appearance.
Let’s investigate the relationship between allergies, infections, and the rains and learn some crucial advice to deal with these bothersome eye problems as the heavens open and the humidity rises.
The primary cause of common eye issues during the monsoon is pandemic infectious conjunctivitis. Due to an infection brought on by viruses in the air (adenovirus is the most prevalent), this illness results in red, itchy, gritty, and watery eyes. Due to its high contagiousness, this illness is easily spread from one person to another. Hand washing is an important part of personal hygiene and prevents the spread of diseases from person to person.
Mold and fungi thrive during the monsoon. In those who are vulnerable, this causes allergies. Bacterial growth is encouraged by the moist environment, which causes uncomfortable chalazion and styes on the eyelids.
The monsoon increases the risk of eye diseases including Keratitis and Dacrocystitis because bacteria and viruses flourish there.
Follow these crucial coping mechanisms to combat these monsoon-related eye issues:
1. Keep your living area clean on a regular basis to prevent the buildup of dust and mold.
2. Hand hygiene: Practice proper hand hygiene and avoid touching your eyes with dirty hands to prevent eye infections.
3. Apply eye drops: Over-the-counter artificial tears relieve dryness and clear allergens from the eye.
4. Avoid getting wet or splashed by unclean water in puddles to reduce your exposure to allergies and infectious diseases.
5. Speak with your doctor: If symptoms continue, get expert assistance for an accurate diagnosis and course of therapy.
