Young man fell ill with flu. It all started quite trivial: red throat, runny nose, temperature. A little looked eyes and hurts was to look out the window on the snow sparkling under the sun. But for a very long time, the temperature did not decrease, and the patient complained that the Sorinka fell into the eye.
To the ophthalmologist, he appealed only when the eye blushed and closed. Unfortunately, the process went so far that only surgery could save vision - corneal transplantation.
This case is quite typical for such a viral disease, like herpety keratitis: the patient himself or his relatives consider photophobia, tearing, the feeling of the foreign body in the eye is another manifestation of influenza or complication, which is not necessary to treat - it will take place.
But this is a delusion. If it is not timely not to consult a doctor-ophthalmologist, the disease will progress, the virus will spread from the cornea to other fabrics of the eyeball.
As a rule, patients with severe forms of herpetic keratitis are hospitalized and their condition constantly monitors the attending physician. But the recommendations of the specialist must be observed strictly and after extracting from the hospital: not to miss a single injection, do not forget to drip medicine into the eyes. If this is not done, there are quite unpleasant consequences in the future.
Herpes virus amazes the horny shell of the eye, and in its epitheliums, small bubbles filled with serous fluid are formed. They quickly burst, merge, and in their place are formed by sprues, which cause closer to the cornea and the formation of Luma. Statistics argue that herpetic keratitis is now in the first place among eye diseases complicating the formation of lords and leading to loss of vision. Often joins secondary bacterial infection. In this case, Keratitis virus only makes sentence, and lead it to the execution of bacteria. A purulent process can begin, so strong that the blind eye sometimes even have to delete.
So when you get hurt to look at the light, the eye begins to get out, root, blushes, when the exhausting feeling of the foreign body appears in the eye, do not delay the visit to the ophthalmologist.
How to protect your eyes from herpetic keratitis
Hence the conclusion: to reduce the likelihood of the development of this disease, stop and timely treat foci of inflammation - carious teeth, inflamed nasal sinuses, almonds, which also lower immunity.
The virus is transmitted and through household items. «How many times did the world...», that the objects of hygiene each must be their! And still there are no discontinuities when people wiping, for example, with a single towel with sick. It is impossible to do this! After all, this way can be easily incurred in eye infection.
Often with virus carriers become mascara, shadow and other cosmetics. A lot of danger is exposed to actors, causing makeup on the face of other people's sponges, tinting eyelashes and eyelids in mascara and shadows. And if they used, for example, the carrier of herpes virus? Then infection is almost inevitable.
All cosmetics must be individual: Never take other people's and no one with anyone!
Similarly, with eye drops. In the house where there is a sick herpetic keratitis, there may be elderly people who prescribed the doctor, for example, vitamin drops. Be very careful with pipettes, they also transmit keratitis. Pipettes of a patient with keratitis litter not to confuse with others, and do not forget to boil them daily in a separate dish.
The second in frequency causes the activation of the dormant in the body of the Keratitis virus is the microtraum of the cornea. Especially parts of the eye injury in workers, mechanisters, repairing equipment, with builders, when underground particles of wood dust fall, or in working with pesticides.
The most convenient way to protect the eyes - ordinary glasses. Even simple glasses in spectacle rims reliably protect eyes from random damage. But, of course, it doesn't always have enough glasses. If your job is associated with electrical welding, be sure to use the shields with special glasses, and when working with kerifies, wear helmets, half masks. Try to foresee the danger and take care of her.
But if all the misfortune happened and the horn shell of the eye is injured, do not try to remove the foreign body yourself or rinse the eye! Impose a clean bandage and send the victim to the nearest hospital. Only a doctor can prevent possible severe effects of injury.
I think that this article will be read and those who have already sick with herpetic keratitis. Ophthalmologists consider such people to consider a kind of risk group, since in 50% of cases there is a possibility of disease recurrences. Once a year, all hazardous keratitis had to be examined from an ophthalmologist and, if he recommends, to undergo a course of anti-herpetic vaccination.
