Regularly wash your hands with soap and water, especially after touching your eyes or face, to prevent the spread of germs that can cause conjunctivitis.
Refrain from touching or rubbing your eyes, as this can introduce bacteria or viruses from your hands into your eyes, increasing the risk of infection.
If you need to touch or rub your eyes, use a clean tissue instead of your fingers to minimize the chances of transferring pathogens.
Refrain from sharing towels, handkerchiefs, pillowcases, or other personal items that may come into contact with your eyes.
Keep your face and eye area clean by washing it with clean water regularly.
Ensure that your living space and surroundings are clean and free from dust and other allergens that can irritate your eyes.
If you need to step out during heavy rains or in areas prone to infections, consider wearing protective eyewear, such as sunglasses or rain gear, to shield your eyes from contaminants.
If you experience any symptoms of conjunctivitis, such as redness, itching, discharge, or increased sensitivity to light, consult an eye specialist or healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
