How to avoid eye infections
Whether it’s an eye drop recall or another type of recall, it’s important to not use faulty or contaminated products. In this case, using them may result in an eye infection.
But there are many other common ways people get eye infections, and it’s essential to know about these. According to experts, conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is one of the most common types of eye infection. Usually bacterial or viral, this infection is typically transmitted through direct contact, such as rubbing or touching your eyes after touching a contaminated surface or item.
Because it’s pretty easy to spread, people who are near someone with conjunctivitis are also at risk of getting an eye infection. Experts suggest being diligent about washing your hands, especially before touching your eyes and face.
