How To Know If You Have Eye Flu? Steps To Look For Signs
In India, cases of eye flu continue to increase. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi is reporting approximately 100 cases per day.
A spike in conjunctivitis cases occurs every year during the monsoon season, according to doctors and health experts. However, the current spike is an unusual rise which experts attribute to the heavy, incessant rains and flooding.
How To Know If You Have Eye Flu? Steps To Look For Signs
Understanding the signs of eye flu is crucial for early detection and prompt treatment. We will guide you through the steps to identify the symptoms of eye flu and provide examples to help you understand the condition better [1][2].
Eye flu symptoms to look out for:
1. Redness and irritation
One of the primary indicators of eye flu is redness and irritation in the affected eye(s). If you notice your eyes becoming reddish and feel a persistent itching or burning sensation, it could be a sign of conjunctivitis.
For example, your eyes might resemble the appearance of a pinkish hue, hence the term "pink eye."
2. Excessive tearing
Another common symptom of eye flu is excessive tearing or watery eyes. If you find yourself constantly wiping away tears or notice an increase in tear production, it may be due to conjunctivitis. This symptom is often accompanied by redness and irritation.
3. Discharge
Eye flu can cause a discharge from the affected eye(s). The discharge may be watery or thick and yellowish in colour. If you wake up with crusty or sticky eyelids, it could be an indication of conjunctivitis.
4. Sensitivity to light
In some cases, eye flu can make your eyes more sensitive to light, leading to discomfort when exposed to bright lights or sunlight.
5. Swollen eyelids
Swelling of the eyelids is another sign of eye flu. If you notice puffiness or swelling around your eyes, it could be an indication of conjunctivitis. This symptom is often accompanied by redness, irritation, and discomfort.
On A Final Note...
Identifying the symptoms of eye flu is essential for early detection and appropriate treatment. If you suspect you have eye flu, consult an eye care professional for proper treatment.
