Trust Eye Hospital on Wednesday cautioned against increased incidents of eye infections which are common during the season of monsoon and asked masses to observe extra care. Monsoon brings high humidity which is the leading cause of many eye infections; it could trigger an attack of conjunctivitis, unwanted corneal ulcers and other serious problems, it added. Parents and teachers should keep an eye on vision problems in children during the next three months for timely intervention, said Chief of Medical Services at Al- Shifa Eye Trust Dr Wajid Ali Khan. He said that if someone experiences any sort of redness, swelling or burning, he should avoid self-medication and instead immediately consult an ophthalmologist. People enjoy the monsoon season but they are not aware that it brings with it an army of infections but most of the people consult doctors when it is too late, he added.
