UNDERSTANDING CONJUNCTIVITIS
Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an
in?ammation of the conjunctiva, the thin clear
tissue that covers the white part of the eye. It
can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or
allergies. Conjunctivitis is highly contagious
and can spread easily through direct or indirect
contact. It is important to take preventive
measures to reduce the risk of infection.

MAINTAINING GOOD HYGIENE
Proper hygiene plays a crucial role in
preventing conjunctivitis. Encourage your child
to wash their hands frequently with soap and
water, especially before touching their eyes.
Avoid sharing personal items such as towels,
pillows, or eye makeup. Teach your child to avoid
rubbing their eyes, as this can increase the
risk of infection.

Keeping the environment clean is essential to
prevent conjunctivitis. Regularly clean and
disinfect surfaces that come into contact with
your child's eyes, such as doorknobs, toys, and
school supplies.
Ensure proper ventilation in closed spaces to

minimize the spread of bacteria or
viruses. Maintaining a clean environment can
signi?cantly reduce the risk of conjunctivitis.

PRACTICING GOOD EYE CARE
Taking care of your child's eyes is crucial in
preventing conjunctivitis. Teach your child to
avoid touching their eyes with dirty hands.
Encourage them to use tissues or disposable
wipes to clean their eyes gently. If your child
wears contact lenses, ensure they follow proper
hygiene practices for lens care. Regular eye
check-ups can also help detect any eye-related
issues early on.

PREVENTING ALLERGIC CONJUNCTIVITIS Allergic
conjunctivitis is caused by allergens such as
pollen, pet dander, or dust mites. To prevent
allergic conjunctivitis, keep your child away
from known allergens, especially during peak
allergy seasons. Encourage them to wear
sunglasses outdoors to protect their eyes from
allergens. Consult with an allergist to identify
speci?c triggers and develop an appropriate
prevention plan.

measures, you can effectively safeguard your
child from conjunctivitis. Remember to prioritize
good hygiene, cleanliness in the environment,
and proper eye care. By doing so, you can reduce
the risk of conjunctivitis and ensure your
child's eye health. Thank you for attending this
