Weeping/ sticky eyes

2018-02-15 15:40:37
I have been diagnosed as having conjunctivitis, and have been prescribed eye drops. My eyes are still weeping and are sticky. I have been told conjunctivitis is contagious, so I am wondering if I should stay home and not go in to work (which is at a school)

Follow the advice of Dr mittal. Put antibiotics eye drops 2hrly e.g. moxifloxacin. And wash your eyes with freshwater frequently. Also wash your hands whenever you touch your eyes. Avoid computer and mobile usage.
