Virus from the Eyes Prevent Intrusion

Masks cover your nose and mouth. However, the eyes are not covered and remain bare. It is said that the new coronavirus can be transmitted not only through the mouth and nose, but also through the eyes. In order to prevent the spread of infection, it is necessary to protect not only the nose and mouth, but also the eyes. To protect your eyes, it is recommended to wear glasses or wear a face shield.

Virus from the Eyes Prevent Intrusion

The virus infects the mucous membranes of the body through contact or droplets. The mouth and nose are known to be susceptible to viruses, and many people protect themselves by wearing masks. However, even those who wear masks often leave their eyes exposed.
If the droplets land on your eyes, you can also get infected through your eyes. When you go out and talk to other people, it seems better to wear glasses as well as a mask. If you wear a face shield that covers your entire face, you can reduce the risk of infection from droplets.
Do you find yourself rubbing your eyes when your eyes are itchy, or when your eyes get tired from working on the computer for a long time? "The virus on your hands might get into your eyes." If your eyes are itchy, it is best not to rub them with your hands. Go to the washroom, wash your hands, and rinse your eyes lightly. It is also not good to wash your eyes too much. If you are worried about itching, it may be better to receive it at an ophthalmologist once.
Even glasses that have been worn for a day may carry the virus. It is also a good idea to wash your glasses daily to keep them clean.
