Dr. Chen You
Acute conjunctivitis is a highly contagious eye disease. Generally, acute conjunctivitis spreads widely through shared public items, with main transmission routes including personal articles used by patients, such as towels and basins. To prevent outbreaks, it is essential to cut off transmission pathways, eliminate sources of infection, and enhance bodily resistance. Therefore, avoid rubbing your eyes with dirty hands, refrain from frequently trimming fingernails, and develop good eye hygiene habits.
