Can I marry someone with red eye?

　　Conjunctivitis (commonly known as “pink eye”) is a common ocular infectious disease—but it is not frightening. As long as proper eye hygiene is maintained—such as avoiding sharing handkerchiefs or using them to touch the face and eyes—the risk of infection can be significantly reduced. So, can one marry someone with conjunctivitis?

　　Can one marry someone with conjunctivitis?

　　Yes, one can marry someone with conjunctivitis. During the early stage of the disease, patients should avoid indiscriminate use of corticosteroid eye drops. Cold compresses may help alleviate swelling and redness; however, warm compresses must be avoided, as they can exacerbate ocular congestion, accelerate inflammation spread, and potentially lead to serious complications. Regardless of disease severity, corticosteroids must never be used without strict medical supervision. Always follow your ophthalmologist’s instructions when taking medication.

　　After contacting public facilities, wash your hands thoroughly with soap as soon as possible—and avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands. If someone in your household has conjunctivitis, separate towels and washbasins should be used. As a patient, you should wash your hands immediately after touching your eyes before handling any other shared items. Once infected with conjunctivitis, seek medical attention promptly. Antibiotic eye drops are recommended for treatment; avoid viscous eye ointments, as they may impede discharge drainage and worsen symptoms. If the condition severely affects the cornea, corticosteroid eye drops may be prescribed under strict physician guidance—but self-administration is strictly prohibited due to their numerous potential side effects.

　　In daily life, cultivate healthy lifestyle and dietary habits. We hope this information proves helpful to you.
