According to doctors, it is unusual for many people to have pink eye at this time because this disease usually only appears during the change of seasons, from September to October. Many children have pink eye during the summer vacation, which does not rule out the possibility that they often go swimming in swimming pools and come into contact with disease-causing bacteria. In addition, pink eye can be caused by viruses or allergies.

Master, Doctor Nguyen Quang Minh, Deputy Director of Hai Duong Eye and Dermatology Hospital, said that pink eye is actually conjunctivitis. If this disease is not treated promptly, it can cause blurred vision or even blindness. When suffering from pink eye, patients need to be taken to medical facilities and use medications as directed by the doctor. During treatment, pay attention to personal hygiene, improve nutrition, rest, get enough sleep, and minimize watching TV and using the phone. People with pink eye should limit contact with people around them because the disease can spread and become an epidemic.
