Red eye disease may be transmitted to people through direct contact or indirect contact.
1. Direct contact between
patients and healthy people, red eye pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, pneumococcus, etc. enter the eyes of healthy people through direct contact, and reproduce in the eyes to cause inflammation, which may cause the disease.
2. Indirect contact with
healthy people using towels, washbasins and other items used by patients with red eye disease. The above items are contaminated by red eye pathogens, and pathogenic bacteria enter the eyes, which may also cause red eye disease.
