The Department of Health cautioned the public against catching sore eyes especially during the summer season.

The Department of Health cautioned the public against catching sore eyes especially during the summer season, according to Mark Salazar’s “24 Oras” report on Tuesday.“Pag nakita natin na mapula na yung mga mata natin may sore eyes na agad, pero hindi naman po yun totoo. Kailangan very cautious tayo sa pagdidiagnose at pagsasabi kung tayo ay may sore eyes o wala ang pinakamabuti talaga makapagkonsulta tayo sa doktor,” DOH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said.

“Wag kayong basta basta maglagay ng kahit anong eye drops sa inyong mata kasi ito po might cause more harm than good, maaari naman gumamit ng malinis na cloth na maaaring ninyo pong dampi-dampian lang pero iwasan natin pag hinawak sa kanang kamay ay hahawak pa sa kaliwang kamay dahil madaling kumalat ang sore eyes,” Vergeire said.

“Parang mabigat lang to siya dito, nag muta-muta, nagluha-luha tapos mainit ganon lang po, mga dalawang araw lang po naging red po siya pero yung isang mata ko lang po,” he said. Meanwhile, grandmother Cristy Engor always reminded her 10 grandchildren to wash their hands to prevent the spread of sore eyes in their compound.
