German ophthalmologist Tim Pimme advised on the need to pay attention to the symptoms that may affect the eye, especially herpes viruses that raise the risk of blindness.
He explained that these viruses can attack the eye through the spray in the air or through smudging, causing inflammation of the cornea and cataracts, which leads to deterioration of vision and blindness in the worst cases.
Symptoms of eye herpes are redness of the eye, itching, feeling of foreign body, eye adhesion, increased lacrimal secretions, eyelid blisters and pain.
Immediately after observing these symptoms, the doctor should be consulted for the timely treatment of herpes, with ointments and drops, which prevent the spread of viruses, taking into account compliance with hygiene and hygiene requirements, i.e. frequent hand washing with soap and under running water, disinfecting door handles and surfaces with sterilization preparations, Also avoid using common towels, washing clothes at a temperature of at least 60 degrees Celsius.
