Dr. Cui Xin
Pregnant women with keratitis can use oxygenated eye drops or ribavirin eye drops without any adverse effects on the fetus, so it is safe to use. Additionally, avoid prolonged screen time from computers, televisions, or books. Maintain good eye hygiene and prevent excessive eye strain. Applying a warm towel compress to the eyes each night and performing eye exercises are recommended.
