For several weeks, citizens have been saying that they encountered a new complication when they were infected with infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract. So, this manifests itself more with eye diseases.
Among the complaints are eye redness and inflammation. During the visit to the ophthalmologist, it becomes clear that the infectious disease has worsened because of the flu.
Those who suffer from it say that the eyes are red, dirty, and the eyelashes stick together for days.
Since the number of complaints has increased, we decided to get an expert-doctor’s opinion on the matter.
What should be done to prevent infectious diseases from causing disease in the eyes? Are these complications more common in children or adults? Can this problem cause vision loss over time?
Publika.az informs that these and other questions of “oxu.az” were answered by Matanat Efendiyeva, head of the laboratory department for teaching practical skills in biological objects and mock-ups of the National Ophthalmology Center.
He said that these complaints are often encountered in recent times.
The doctor notes that if a person suffers from rheumatism, he must receive preventive treatment against it:
“Because people suffering from rheumatism may develop some eye diseases after a while. “Unfortunately, as these processes progress, even glaucoma may appear in the eye.”
Talking about herpes among other common diseases, the ophthalmologist notes that if this disease occurs around the eyes, it does not respond to treatment:
“More precisely, it is related to the immune system. Herpes lives in the cell and does not respond to treatment. Herpes manifests itself when there is a slight cold and tension. In these cases, herpetic keratitis (cataract), herpetic uveitis may occur in the eye. In addition to affecting vision, this can also result in corneal clouding. “Unfortunately, in recent times we often come across these situations.”
