The bacteria in question, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is a common cause of corneal ulcers, said Kevin Mundy, M.D., clinical associate professor of ophthalmology and visual <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>s at Michigan Medicine&#8217;s Kellogg Eye Center.\n                                                <\/p>\n<p>These ulcers can lead to scarring and long-term visual deficit, especially if not addressed im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely.<\/p>\n<p>The warnings from the CDC and FDA could be concerning for the many people who turn to &#8220;artificial tears,&#8221; or eye drops, for their dry eyes. However, Mundy says not to worry\u2014the EzriCare drops brand makes up a small share of the market. There are plenty of brands to choose from and many other things to consider when choosing the right kind of eye drops.<\/p>\n<p>Mundy offers these tips:\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Determine_frequency_of_use\"><\/span>Determine frequency of use <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mundy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly recommends drops be used four times a day or less if they&#8217;re the preserved variety. Preserved artificial tears, which are most types of drops that come in a multi-use bottle, are fine for those who use their eye drops infrequently.<\/p>\n<p>However, those who exceed four times daily should try a preservative-free variety as preservatives can become an irritant. Mundy says it&#8217;s important to read the fine print on labels since preservative-free drops can be tough to identify\u2014they&#8217;re almost always packaged as individual vials, but can come in bottles as well.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_the_claims_of_%E2%80%98getting_the_red_out\"><\/span>Avoid the claims of &#8216;getting the red out&#8217; <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mundy says eye drops that claim to eliminate redness can actually worsen the problem and do harm in the long run. The chemicals used in these products work by shrinking the blood vessels, causing the body to produce factors that dilate the vessels.<\/p>\n<p>A better option for reducing redness is lubricating the eyes. Mundy says this can be done by using artificial tears or it may be as simple as getting enough sleep.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apply_drops_correctly\"><\/span>Apply drops correctly <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mundy says the best way to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly eye drops is to tip the head back and pull the lower lid down to provide a large landing space for drops. Those who dislike or have difficulties putting things around their eyes can lay down or recline, close their eye, squeeze a drop in the inside corner, and open the eye to let the drop roll in.<\/p>\n<p>Mundy notes that it&#8217;s important to avoid touching the dropper tip to the hands, lashes, lids, or surface of the eye\u2014this could cause contamination and allow bacteria to proliferate within the bottle.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_when_to_switch\"><\/span>Know when to switch <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to monitoring how often eye drops are used, Mundy says to observe whether they become bothersome\u2014eyes that are very dry can sting for a few seconds after drops are applied, but this should be mild and resolved quickly.<\/p>\n<p>If any discomfort is prolonged, consider switching. Mundy also recommends speaking to a doctor who can suggest an ideal type of eye drops, especially for those who have a history of eye disease.<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of Michigan<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.umich.edu\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg><use href=\"https:\/\/medx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 See clearly with these tips for safely using eye drops (2023, March 2)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 2 March 2023<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2023-03-safely-eye.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
