What are the hazards of conjunctivitis

The occurrence of conjunctivitis will inevitably affect the patient's work or study, because the treatment of conjunctivitis requires isolation, otherwise it will easily be transmitted to friends or colleagues around. Pink eye can also lead to other allergic diseases.

Symptoms caused by conjunctivitis include itching, pain, edema, etc. It will affect the patient's psychology and life. This results in a reduction in the quality of life of patients and their families.

Since patients with conjunctivitis have allergic constitutions, they may develop other allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma due to conjunctivitis, which further increases the burden on patients.

4. Impact on vision

General conjunctivitis will not cause any impact on vision, and most cases can be cured in a short period of time. However, some vernal conjunctivitis and atopic conjunctivitis can cause corneal complications and even endanger vision. In severe cases, it may lead to blindness.

Strictly speaking, allergic reactions not only cause conjunctivitis, but also affect other parts of the eye, resulting in more eye disease manifestations, some of which have more serious consequences. Generally, conjunctivitis has no effect on vision. Except for a few children whose vision may be affected by the lesions affecting the cornea (black pupil), general conjunctivitis will not cause great harm to vision. Most can be cured in a short time.
