Prevention
Advisory to STOP the spread of conjunctivitis

• With increase in cases of conjunctivitis across the country, there are a few basic measures to prevent its spread from one another.

• Most common symptoms -
Redness, itching, foreign body sensation, lid edema, watery/ mucoid discharge from the eyes
• It is highly contagious. It is mainly spread by contact, usually with the objects in contact with the infected persons secretion. Therefore,
o Wash hands with soap before touching your face or eyes
o Wash/ sanitise your hands frequently, especially after coming in contact with the infected person
o Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Wash them especially well before and after cleaning, or applying eye drops or ointment to, your infected eye. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean hands.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes. This can worsen the condition or spread it to your other eye.
• Do not use the same eye drop dispenser/bottle for your infected and non-infected eyes.
• Wash pillowcases, sheets, washcloths, and towels often in hot water and detergent; wash your hands after handling such items.
• Stop wearing contact lenses until your eye doctor says it’s okay to start wearing them again.
• Clean eyeglasses, being careful not to contaminate items (like hand towels) that might be shared by other people.
• Clean, store, and replace your contact lenses as instructed by your eye doctor.
• Do not share personal items, such as pillows, washcloths, towels, eye drops, eye or face makeup, makeup brushes, contact lenses, contact lens storage cases, or eyeglasses.
• Do not use swimming pools.
• Infected persons should avoid hand shake, touching handles, use separate towels/ buckets/ mugs etc.

It is a self-limiting disease and usually resolves in 4-7 days.
