Dr. Irina Lishchenko is a Russian specialist who explains the relationship between corona and eye diseases
Dr. Irina Lishchenko, ophthalmologist, announced. Coronavirus may exacerbate allergic conjunctivitis and other eye diseases.
The specialist notes that due to the emerging coronavirus, all chronic diseases worsen. Including eye diseases, but this exacerbation may not be noticed immediately, but rather after some time. For example, allergic conjunctivitis, which often appears in people with "Covid-19".
"There is a disease called allergic conjunctivitis," says Dr. This disease can be exacerbated and cured, without symptoms. We have noticed that those who have previously had eye diseases do not have symptoms of these diseases immediately when they are infected with the emerging coronavirus. But after 1-3 weeks, allergic conjunctivitis can worsen.
The specialist advises people who suffer from chronic eye diseases such as glaucoma. If they are infected with "Covid-19" disease, it is necessary to see an ophthalmologist and conduct full examinations, to prevent the disease from getting worse.
