Eye Health and Diseases Specialist Op. Dr. Adnan İpçioğlu gave information about the measures to be taken in eye health and said that care should be taken in public transportation in order not to catch pink eye. İpçioğlu stated that eye health protective measures can be takenand added: “In this season, you should be careful in crowded places, especially in public transportation such as buses and trams. When there is the slightest finding in the eye, such as redness, itching, burring, an ophthalmologist should be consulted. We should use our medicines carefully and not leave our treatment unfinished.”
Monitor Disease
Giving information about eye problems seen in office workers, Op. Dr. Adnan İpçioğlu said, “The serious problem seen in employees is monitor disease today. The computer has a very important place in all our lives. Intensive use of air conditioning seriously affects eye health in office workers and can trigger it if the person has an eye disease. Moisturizing drops can be used for dry eyes, especially in air-conditioned environments. The use of glasses may also be useful for people who constantly look at the computer, even at a low degree.”
İpçioğlu said that the direct contact of the sun’s rays to the eyes in the fall months will have a negative effect on eye health and added: “We strongly recommend the use of sunglasses, even in the fall. Especially those who drive vehicles should use sunglasses. I strongly recommend the use of sunglasses in sunny regions and sunny countries. Especially sunglasses are recommended especially for people who drive vehicles and work outdoors because the sun rays come more steeply in places such as the Southeast and Eastern Anatolia Region, which receive four seasons of sunshine. We can recommend the use of sunglasses for those who work outdoors and drive vehicles in winter.”
