Regularly wash your hands with soap and water, especially after touching your face or coming into contact with someone who has conjunctivitis. Refrain from touching or rubbing your eyes to prevent infection transmission.
Steer clear of sharing items like towels, handkerchiefs, contact lenses, or eye makeup to prevent the transfer of infection-causing bacteria.
If you wear eye makeup, ensure that you clean your brushes and applicators regularly to prevent bacterial buildup that could lead to eye infections.
During activities that may expose your eyes to harmful substances or infections, wear protective eyewear like goggles or safety glasses.
If you use contact lenses, follow proper hygiene guidelines and adhere strictly to the cleaning and replacement schedule recommended by your eye care professional.
Refrain from using public swimming pools while experiencing conjunctivitis, as the infection can easily spread in the water.
Change your pillowcase daily if you have eye flu to prevent reinfection and minimize the risk of spreading the infection.
Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, as doing so can worsen the infection and increase the likelihood of transmitting it.
If you or someone around you exhibits symptoms of eye flu, maintain a safe distance to reduce the risk of transmission.
If you experience symptoms like redness, itching, discharge, or discomfort in your eyes, promptly consult an eye care professional. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent the infection from worsening and protect others from getting infected.
