Many Americans seek eye infection treatment each year as the result of common bacterial and viral irritants getting into the eyes from various sources. Some infections are so infectious that they are passed on quickly from person to person. This is especially true in public schools where children are not careful with hygiene issues. The list of actual infections that invade our eyesight is lengthy and while most of them are quite common, some if left untreated can actually cause blindness. Infections in the ocular system can affect the eye lids, the cornea and even the optic nerves leading to the brain at the back of the eyes. Add to the normal list of infections those that are brought on by the careless act of contact lenses not being cleaned and the number of Americans each year seeking eye infection treatment can be quite profound.
It has been said that the eye is the window on the soul, and there are few places on the body more readily visible than the eyes. When we are sleepy or tired or when we are excited or embarrassed there is no better indicator of what is going on inside of us than what is happening with our eyes. They really are the billboards for what is happening with the rest of us. Fortunately, some of the most contagious infections of the eyes are also the easiest to spot. Most people have either had or been around those with what is known as pink eye, a condition usually associated with itching, watering and a very red discoloration of the eyes. Highly contagious, this condition that is formally referred to as conjunctivitis, is caused by either bacterial, viral or allergy sources and is as stubborn as an old goat when it comes to leaving. In fact, it does not go away without proper eye infection treatment so if your child contracts the condition at school, he or she should remain at home until the physician is seen or other schoolchildren will get it. This condition is contracted through colds, sore throats, staph germs in bathrooms and through fumes, mites, cosmetics and other allergy generators and when the condition is caused by allergy agents, it can go away when the agents are removed.
Another very common condition of the ocular system is what is known as blepharitis. This is an infection that results in inflammation of the eyelids and eyelashes causing red, itchy eyelids and the formation of what appears to be dandruff on the lashes. People who suffer from Rosacea are the most likely to contract this problem. Fortunately, this condition is not infectious, and good home care can often break the grip of this condition on the sufferer. Washing the eyelids each day with baby shampoo and ending with some hair condition on the lids for several minutes before removing appears to be a good eye infection treatment for blepharitis. Avoiding eye makeup is a good rule of thumb until the condition is completely gone.
In 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to contact lens users about a rare fungal infection striking the wearers of soft contact lens wearers. This fungus called Fusarium had been linked to a significant loss of vision in a number of wearers, resulting in the need for corneal transplants. In most cases, the fungus developed because of poor hygiene issues such as not cleaning the soft lenses on a regular basis and not washing ones hands before handling them. A preventative eye infection treatment of regular hygienic practices could keep this condition form occurring for most contact lens wearers. Certainly preventing tragic infections from our eyes is important, but having a personal relationship with God is so much more important. Here's how Jesus put His desire for getting to know you and you Him: "Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me." (Revelation 3:20)
People often develop what are known as sties or chalazions which are lumps on the eyelid. The larger of the two, the chalazion, is actually not an infection but rather gland in the eyelid that is clogged with oil secretions. The chalizion often goes away but itself, but may become quite large and very tender and swollen, and on rare occasions the eye can swell shut. Typically a chalazion will go away by itself with the application of hot compresses on it for several days. A stye may need eye infection treatment because it is indeed an infected eyelash follicle. The stye is very near the eyelash while the chalazion is usually further away from the edge of the lid.
Even though many eye infections are minor in their ability to actually harm our vision, eye infection treatment should be always sought in order to eliminate the more serious and debilitating infections that might be possible. Because some infections are bacterial and others are viral, many over the counter treatments may not be effective if they are produced to treat more allergic causes. It will take the expertise of a trained professional to identify exactly what the cause is of your ocular problem. Most health insurance policies will cover eye infection treatment and so the best advice is to seek help and not take a chance on your vision being impaired in any way. Early diagnosis is the best defense against serious medical problems.
