The temperature continues to rise in summer, so pay attention to these two common eye diseases!

In the hot summer, the continuous high temperature, air conditioning and swimming have become the choices for many people to escape the heat. However, if you do not pay attention to self-protection, you may cause eye diseases. Be careful of these two major eye diseases while avoiding the heat.

01 Dry Eyes

Many office workers type in air-conditioned rooms with dry air and sit for half a day. Long-term close-range eye use, reduced blinking, and radiation from electronic screens reduce the moisture of the cornea and cause dry eyes.

Dry eyes usually manifest as symptoms such as dry eyes, blurred vision, visual fatigue, burning sensation, foreign body sensation, etc.

Once the above symptoms appear, you need to go to a professional ophthalmic medical institution for treatment in time.
At the same time, pay attention to personal eye hygiene, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and supplement vitamins and nutrients.

02Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis

Many people like to cool off in the summer and go swimming. Although many swimming pools will take disinfection measures, some bacteria and viruses cannot be eliminated by disinfectant powders. The temperature is high in summer, and diseases are more common. If the water in the swimming pool is contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms and the disinfection and sterilization treatment is not strict, it may be infected and cause acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. The main symptoms are: severe foreign body sensation, red eyes, photophobia and other reactions. There are also symptoms such as eyelid edema, and high congestion of the eyelids and conjunctiva. Once infected, you should follow the doctor's advice for treatment, rest at home as much as possible, and reduce activities in public places. Toiletries should not be mixed to avoid cross infection.
