What are the ways of transmission of conjunctivitis

Because conjunctivitis is highly contagious, patients with conjunctivitis generally need to be isolated and treated. There are many general ways of spreading conjunctivitis, and the bacteria can be transmitted through some physical objects that come into contact with the body.

Conjunctivitis transmission

Pink eye is mainly transmitted through contact. For example, our hands touch many things every day. If we accidentally use the towel or items used by a pink eye patient, or shake hands with them and have physical contact, we may be infected with pink eye. Pink eye is more easily transmitted in public places, such as kindergartens, schools, stations, theaters, swimming pools and other public places. Pink eye is very easy to spread or transmit. Especially in swimming pools, many people often get infected after swimming in the swimming pool and infect other family members, relatives, friends, colleagues, etc.

It is relatively easy to prevent conjunctivitis. The key is to develop good personal hygiene habits, try not to share items with others, and minimize the time spent in public places.

Conjunctivitis has a relatively short course and will generally heal itself in about ten to two weeks, so conjunctivitis does not have a significant impact on vision. However, if some complications occur, you should be vigilant. For example, conjunctivitis can cause keratitis, which can affect vision. At this time, you should use some appropriate medicines for treatment.
