The Essentials of Eye Health: How to Prevent Infections

Eye infections may not always be dangerous, but they can lead to bigger problems if left untreated—especially given how sensitive our eyes are. At Classic Vision Care, led by Dr. Mital Patel, our skilled optometrists offer expert care to protect your eyes and treat infections quickly. However, prevention is the best medicine. To help keep your eyes healthy and infection-free, follow these 7 tips:

  1. Wash your hands frequently.

  2. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes.

  3. Always remove contact lenses before sleeping.

  4. Clean your lenses properly with approved solutions.

  5. Don’t share eye makeup, and discard it if you’ve had an infection.

  6. Use your own clean towels and pillowcases.

  7. Visit us at the first sign of trouble—redness, itching, or tearing.

If you need more help with prevention or treatment, contact our offices in Kennesaw, Marietta, or Atlanta, or schedule an appointment online.
