Since the summer comes, an increasing number of children go to the city’s several public swimming pools; children surfing online have increased enormously; prescription sunglasses are becoming the hot commodity in the markets. These seemingly unrelated things together create the surge of patients with eye diseases.
Swimming: Beware of “red-eyes” and trachoma
Experts said that June to August each year, the number of “red-eye” patients who go to hospital for treatment is increased significantly, mostly caused by swimming because “red-eye” spread mainly through contact with infectious. It spreads rapidly. The hands, towels, water contaminated by virus may become the media. In addition, Chlamydia trachoma can be transmitted through swimming pool water. Experts recommend wearing a pair of swimming goggles when in the swimming pools or to prepare a bottle of eye-drops with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic effect and drop before and after entering the pool once. Once eyes are itching, foreign body sensation or burning sensation, conjunctival congestion, a purulent or mucous discharge after swimming, they should immediately seek medical treatment.
Surfing online: Beware of “dry eye”
In a summer vacation, many students in small groups go to the internet network and play games without any rest for hours. Eye experts say that a long time watching the computer screen will cause to accelerate the consumption of rhodopsin photosensitive material on retina and lead to dry eye, eye pain, low ability of dark adaptation and so on. Experts remind that excessive use of eyes should be avoided as far as possible. Blink eyes every one hour to allow the eyes to rest for at least about 5 minutes, look objects far away and do eye exercises in order to adjust.
At the same time, pay attention to the nutritional supplement, such as vitamin A, vitamin C and β-carotene. Eat more liver, cod liver oil, carrots, tomatoes. In addition, the long-term wear of contact lenses is equally prone to “dry eye.” Experts argue that patients of short-sighted choose to wear contact lens with high oxygen permeability. If you want to say goodbye to the life of “lens”, laser surgery is a good choice.
Sunglasses: Beware of eyesight damage
Put on a pair of sunglasses in summer can not only prevent UV but also a good decoration. But ophthalmologists remind that the quality of sunglasses and the abuse of sunglasses regardless of time and occasions will hurt the eyes and injure eyes.
UV prevention is the primary function of sunglasses. Some lenses or sunglasses will be marked of “100% UV protection”, “UV400″, “UV” and other logos.

A long time wearing can lead to cataracts, eye pain, corneal edema, corneal epithelial shedding and other symptoms. At the same time, experts advise that tinted sunglasses should not be worn indoors, as it will add to the burden of the eyes to cause ocular tension obscurity in the dim light. There will be severe dizziness and nervous. In addition, children under the age of 6 are not suitable to wear sunglasses for a long time, because a long time wearing sunglasses leads amblyopic for their underdeveloped visual function.
