Conjunctivitis

characterized by the formation of white or gray films on the surface of the conjunctiva and inside the eyelids. These films can be easily removed, but after their removal, ulcers and hyperemia remain on the conjunctiva. The disease lasts longer than the catarrhal form and can lead to complications such as keratitis (inflammation of the cornea) and conjunctival carcinoma.

Treatment for conjunctivitis depends on its cause. In the case of viral conjunctivitis, treatment is symptomatic and aims to relieve symptoms such as itching, redness and watery eyes. In some cases, eye drops containing antibiotics or antiviral drugs may be prescribed.

To prevent conjunctivitis, it is recommended to follow hygiene rules, such as regular hand washing, avoiding contact with sick people, not touching your eyes with dirty hands, and not sharing towels and hygiene items. It is also recommended to wear sunglasses in spring and summer to protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation.

In any case, if you suspect conjunctivitis, you should consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment. If the disease is not detected and treated promptly, it can lead to serious complications and even loss of vision.
