Protection from Viral Conjunctivitis
Hi,
My flatmate's mom has been staying here with us since a month and ever since she came her left eye has been infected. She told me it's vital conjunctivitis. Her husband and daughter got infected from her. None of them are getting any better. Keep on relapsing. Worst part being that they don't wear dark glasses when in the apartment. I'm very scared for myself. Are there any precautions I can take? Any drops that would help protect my eyes? Please advice.
Hello
A. Avoid hand shake or any physical contact with infected person
B. Keep your hands clean
C. There is no medicine for prevention
