Eye Flu: The continuous rains during the monsoon season have become a cause of trouble for people these days. Due to the rain, there is a problem of water logging in many places. Along with this, the risk of many diseases and infections is also increasing in this rainy season. Apart from this, cases of eye flu are also coming to the fore from different parts of the country these days.
In many parts of the country including Delhi, these infections are increasing rapidly. In such a situation, we talked to Dr. Vikash Vaibhav, Senior Ophthalmologist of Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals regarding the sudden increase in the cases of eye flu and tried to know the reason for the increasing cases of eye flu.
Cases increased with rain
Talking about the increasing cases of eye flu, Dr. Vikash Vaibhav says that with the rains, the number of patients suffering from eye problems is increasing rapidly in most parts of the country. Both viral and bacterial infections are being seen in the eyes. The number of such patients has also increased in government hospitals in other states of the country including the capital Delhi.
Why does conjunctivitis happen?
Most of the people suffering from eye problems are in the grip of conjunctivitis i.e. eye flu. Generally, the number of patients with conjunctivitis (eye flu) increases due to humidity and humid heat in the weather. However, this time more patients are coming in comparison to every year, for which there may be some important reasons.
Why are the cases of eye flu increasing suddenly?
Doctors say that an important reason for this is that the risk of bacteria, viruses, and chlamydia infection is high in monsoons. In fact, due to the humidity in this season, where the virus gets a chance to spread, due to the humidity, the infection remains among us for a long time. The same is the case with conjunctivitis. It is caused by viruses such as adenovirus, herpes simplex virus, and varicella zoster.
How is conjunctivitis spread?
Due to excessive sweating in this season, people touch their eyes repeatedly, due to which this infection starts spreading. The important thing is that a large number of children are falling prey to it. However, conjunctivitis can occur in people of any age. If one person in the family gets affected by it, then other members need to be more careful.
