Want Always Healthy Eyes? Here are the tips!<\/a><\/h3>
Sahabat Hermina, the eyes are a very important organ for humans. Maintaining eye health can prevent you from various risks of eye disease and even loss of vision. \n\n Tired eyes are usually characterized by soreness around the eyes and a dry feeling that makes vision blurry in some people. Apart from tired eyes, there are many other eye problems that can arise if you don't pay attention or maintain good eye health. \n\n To maintain good eye sight, Hermina's Friends can do the following tips: \n\n \n Maintain Your Diet \n \n\n Daily food intake can actually affect eye health. So that your sense of sight is always healthy, try to regularly consume lots of foods that contain vitamins C and E, omega-3 fatty acids, iron and lutein. These various nutrients can be obtained by consuming lots of green leafy vegetables, salmon, tuna, eggs, nuts and oranges. \n\n \n Give Your Eyes Time to Rest \n \n\n Staring at a computer or laptop screen for too long can also increase the risk of eye damage. This can cause dry and tense eyes, blurred vision, neck pain, headaches, shoulder and back pain, and difficulty focusing when looking at a distance. To prevent this, apply the 20-20-20 rule, namely every 20 minutes, look away 20 feet (about 6 meters) for at least 20 seconds. \n\n \n Diligent in Sports \n \n\n Exercise can reduce the risk of vision loss due to high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. \n\n \n Get your health checked Points Periodically \n \n\n Routine eye examinations can be the best way to prevent damage. This is because an eye examination can monitor the condition of this area and any disorders or health problems that arise can be immediately detected. It is recommended that people, both elderly and young, both men and women, should have their eyes checked regularly by an ophthalmologist at least once every 2 years. Adults over 40 years of age are advised to have their eyes checked once a year. This can be useful for preventing eye diseases associated with increasing age, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. \n\n Meanwhile, children's eye health should be checked at least once every two years to detect vision problems that might affect their learning abilities. Children do not need to be able to read to have an eye examination. \n\n \n Wear sunglasses when doing outdoor activities \n \n\n UV rays from the sun can also cause eye damage. One way to maintain eye health is to use sunglasses when doing outdoor activities that are exposed to a lot of sunlight. Using sunglasses can protect the eyes from direct exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Using sunglasses can block UVA and UVB rays. The same thing also applies to the contact lenses you use. To protect your eyes better, choose contact lenses that can provide protection from UV rays. \n\n So, let's start diligently getting your eyes checked to avoid eye diseases that can eliminate your ability to see. Stay healthy. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rarely known, this is the danger of rubbing your eyes<\/a><\/h3>
We often rub our eyes, consciously or unconsciously, when our eyes feel itchy. Rubbing our eyes seems like a normal activity, but did Friend Hermina know that rubbing your eyes can actually lead to serious conditions, one of which is infection? \n\n Eye infection is a condition where the eyes become red, swollen, and watery. It is caused by microbiology exposed to the eyes, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. \n\n Conjunctivitis (pink or red eyes) is the most common eye infection. This is inflammation of the conjunctiva and the inner surface of the eyelids, usually resulting from a viral or bacterial infection. Conjunctivitis can also occur due to allergic conditions. \n\n \n Viral conjunctivitis (related to the body's immune system): healing can be faster. \n Bacterial Conjunctivitis \n \n\n \n Caused by bacteria, the inflammatory process is more aggressive because it can damage the cornea, which can threaten blindness. \n Gonorrhea (GO) conjunctivitis caused by STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) often occurs in the eyes of newborns who are born spontaneously intravaginally. GO conjunctivitis also often infects the eyes of adults who frequently engage in unhealthy sexual relations or frequently change partners. \n \n\n \n Allergic Conjunctivitis \n \n\n \n Keratitis is a serious eye infection of the cornea because it can cause blindness. Currently, keratitis (inflammation of the cornea) is often caused by poor use and care of contact lenses, which can increase the risk of corneal infections. Trauma to the eye due to dirty objects such as plants, stones, soil, and others can cause serious infections in the eye. eye. \n Stye on the edge of the eyelid is also another form of infection that often occurs due to infection of the hair follicles in the eyelashes. Generally, it looks like a pimple or a small boil. If the infection is more severe or widespread, then this condition is called blepharitis, or eyelid infection. \n \n\n \n\n Eye infection symptoms \n\n Sufferers may experience one or more of the following symptoms: \n\n \n Red eye \n Discharge in the eyes (watery, slimy eyes may contain blood and pus) \n Eye discomfort/pain \n The eye feels like there is a foreign object. \n Swollen eyes or swelling in the area around the eyes \n Eyes are difficult to open. \n Continuous itching \n Blurred vision \n \n\n \n\n Is an eye infection dangerous? \n\n \n If left untreated, an infection in the eye can spread quickly and cause blindness if the damage caused by the infection is severe. \n If a serious infection in the eye spreads to the brain's nervous system, it can cause meningitis (an inflammatory brain infection), which can be life-threatening. \n If the infection threatens to cause a perforation in the eye, leakage of the contents of the eyeball, or rupture of the contents of the eyeball, the ophthalmologist will carry out patching of the leaking layer (if still possible) and surgical removal of the contents of the eyeball if the infection is so severe that it can be life-threatening. \n \n\n \n\n How is the treatment? Can you recover completely? Or repeat \n\n \n Sufferers and patients should immediately consult an ophthalmologist to determine the cause of their eye infection in order to obtain the best advice and treatment. Treatment generally includes the use of antibiotic drops, antibiotic eye ointment, and oral antibiotics adjusted to the severity of the eye infection. \n If the infection is mild, it can heal completely. \n If the infection is serious, if it heals, it can leave scar tissue, which can interfere with sharp vision and even blindness. \n Can recur if the infection returns \n \n\n \n\n How do I prevent eye infections? \n\n \n Wash your hands before and after touching your eyes or face. \n Avoid sharing eye make-up with other people and pay attention to the expiration date of eye make-up (change at least once every 6 months). \n Take good care of contact lenses and do not share contact lens equipment, cases, or washing fluid with other people. \n If you have an eye infection, avoid using eye make-up or wearing contact lenses until the infection clears up. \n Avoid sharing towels, bed sheets, pillows, or handkerchiefs. \n Prevent eye exposure to contaminated water. \n Use swimming goggles when swimming as eye protection. \n \n\n If Hermina's friends experience and feel the above symptoms with an intensity that is enough to interfere with their activities, immediately consult Hermina's friends' condition with an eye specialist at the nearest Hermina Hospital or do an online consultation via the Halo Hermina application. \n\n \n\n Referensi : https://herminahospitals.com/id/articles/waspada-mengucek-mata-dapat-menyebakan-infeksi-pada-mata.html \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sleeping with Contact Lenses: Dangerous or Not?<\/a><\/h3>
Contact lenses can help users see more clearly without wearing glasses. Contact lenses are an alternative for eyeglass users who like sports or outdoor activities. Contact lenses are also an option for people who are unable or unwilling to wear glasses due to appearance reasons. In fact, people without visual impairments are increasingly using contact lenses to enhance their appearance. Along with the increasing use, it is not uncommon for people to fall asleep while wearing contact lenses. According to a study in Thailand, 31.85% of contact lens wearers' bad behavior is falling asleep using contact lenses. Danger or not? \n\n \nWhat Type of Contact Lenses Can You Wear to Sleep? \n\n Contact lenses are broadly divided into soft contact lenses and hard contact lenses. The type that is more often used is the soft contact lens. Soft contact lenses are divided into extended wear types and ordinary types. Extended wear contact lenses are specially designed using a material that can be worn continuously on the eyes for 1-4 weeks depending on the instructions for use so that they can be worn to sleep. Unlike the case with ordinary contact lenses that can only be worn for a maximum of 8 hours per day and must be removed while sleeping. Ordinary contact lenses need to be replaced periodically according to the period of use of each product. Some need to be replaced daily, weekly, monthly, 3 months, or 6 months. Keep in mind that this period is not the length of time that contact lenses are allowed to remain in the eye continuously. \n\n \n\n Why Don't Wear Contact Lenses To Sleep? \n\n During sleep the eyes do not blink while the blinking movement serves to produce and spread tears evenly. The tears function to moisten the eyeball and help the process of transferring oxygen to the surface of the eyeball. As a result, the eyeball becomes drier during sleep and the flow of oxygen is also reduced. With the use of contact lenses, tears and oxygen will be blocked, thereby increasing dryness and reducing the flow of oxygen to the surface of the eyeball. This can result in: \n\n Dry eyes are characterized by gritty, itchy, or lumpy eyes \n Red eye \n Contact lenses stick to the surface of the eye and are difficult to remove \n\n \nIf falling asleep using contact lenses is allowed to become a habit and is done continuously, it can result in: \n\n Inflammation of the surface of the eyeball and swelling of the surface of the eyeball \n Inflammation of the clear membrane of the eye due to an inflammatory reaction that is allowed to continue. \n Increases the risk of infection and ulcers. \n\n \nWhat Should I Do If I Have Been Sleeping With Contact Lenses? \n\n If you have fallen asleep wearing contact lenses, don't panic. Contact lenses in general will become dry and stick tightly to the surface of the eye, making it difficult to remove. Do not force the contact lens off because it can scratch the surface of the eye. Wet the surface of the eye with moisturizing eyeball first, then slowly remove the contact lens. Immediately wash and soak contact lenses as directed. Wet the surface of the eye with moisturizing eyeball liquid 4-6 times a day. Rest your eyes from wearing contact lenses for 1-2 days. If your eyes still feel uncomfortable, red, or swollen, immediately consult an ophthalmologist. \n\n \n\n Schedule of Ophthalmologists at Hermina Hospital Karawang: \n\n dr. Azalia Latuasan, SpM : Monday - Friday (12.00 - 19.00) & Sunday (13.00 - 18.00) \n\n dr. Andreas Surya Anugrah Sinaga, SpM : Monday - Saturday (07.00 - 10.00) \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
