Can Wearing Black Glasses Prevent Conjunctivitis From Spreading: Eye flu or conjunctivitis is a viral infection of the eyes that causes many problems, such as redness of the eyes, swollen eyelids, burning sensation in the eyes, and tears. Due to sudden changes in the weather, this infection spreads more rapidly. This is the reason why eye flu patients are advised to keep cleanliness, but some people try to take extra care and wear dark glasses on their eyes and think that this virus will not spread to others. Let us know whether it is right to do so or not.

Will there be protection from wearing dark glasses?

Even though you can protect your eyes from bright light, dust, and soil by wearing black glasses, if you think that by doing this, this disease will not spread to other people, then it is just a rumor. There is no truth in this matter. Eye contact with patients infected with eye flu does not spread the virus.

Why do doctors recommend wearing goggles?

Patients with conjunctivitis become a little more sensitive to bright light, as well as if dust or soil gets in their eyes, then the pain starts increasing. The eyes get immediate relief from the goggles, but it has nothing to do with spreading the infection or preventing the spread of the infection.

How does eye flu spread?

1. When an eye flu patient rubs his eyes and then shakes hands with a healthy person. Conjunctivitis spreads if a healthy person touches his eyes with his infected hands.

2. A person who has conjunctivitis should not use his towel, pillow, or bed because it can also infect your eyes.

What to do to avoid eye flu?

1. Avoid touching your eyes unnecessarily when the disease of eye flu is widespread. If it is necessary to open your eyes, first wash your hands with soap.

2. Don't let anyone else use your bed, pillow, sheet, or handkerchief, otherwise, you too can easily become a victim of this disease.

3. Do not use any eye drops or eye ointment without a doctor's advice

4. Avoid going to crowded areas and keep washing your hands regularly.
