Eye Infection Cases Surge in Baghpat Due to Changing Weather

Baghpat 06 September (desk):-The district hospital in Baghpat has seen a sharp increase in eye infection cases as the weather transitions from the monsoon season. Over 150 patients are visiting the hospital daily, with more than 60 diagnosed with eye infections. Doctors are urging people to take precautions to prevent the spread of the infection.

Dr. Amit Katakwal, an eye specialist at the hospital, reported that most patients are experiencing symptoms like redness, itching, swelling, and watery eyes. He explained that the current humid conditions following the rainy season have contributed to the spread of infections, especially among children.

Doctors are advising patients to wash their eyes multiple times a day and avoid touching or rubbing their eyes. They also recommend maintaining hygiene by not sharing handkerchiefs or eye drops with others to prevent the infection from spreading within families.

To further prevent infections, the hospital is suggesting that people minimize screen time on computers and mobile phones. Those who are already infected should wear protective glasses when going outside and seek immediate medical attention if symptoms worsen.
