In viral keratitis, the eye is examined like scratched glass

When people with viral keratitis have glass-like eyes, it may be due to a more severe condition. However, it may also be related to factors such as untimely treatment and improper medication, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed eye examination and actively treat it under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Reasons

1. Severe disease: If the condition of the patient with viral keratitis is more severe and involves the entire cornea, the corneal epithelial cells may be damaged and fall off, thus appearing as the eye like scratched glass;

2. Lack of timely treatment: If patients with viral keratitis do not actively cooperate with doctors for standardized treatment, or do not follow the doctor's instructions to use antiviral drugs in sufficient amounts, it may also affect the recovery of the disease, resulting in aggravation of symptoms, and the above phenomena occur;

3. Improper medication: If patients with viral keratitis blindly stop or reduce the medication, it may also lead to the prolongation of the disease, which in turn causes this phenomenon.

2. Treatment

Viral keratitis is usually treated with topical medications, such as acyclovir eye drops, which can inhibit the viral infection and control the progression of the infection. If there is a bacterial infection, it can also be combined with antibiotic drug treatment, such as levofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops. Systemic antiviral therapy with drugs such as oral ganciclovir tablets is also required if necessary. If the condition is more severe, surgery such as penetrating keratoplasty may also be considered.

In daily life, we should pay attention to eye care measures and avoid rubbing our eyes with our hands to avoid secondary bacterial infections that may lead to aggravation of the condition. You should also pay attention to getting enough sleep, avoid staying up late, and avoid looking at electronic products for a long time.
