Hidden danger in 3D movies ! – 3D glasses

Shared glasses carrying conjunctivitis, bad enough to leave you infected for a long time.

Next time you visit the cinema to catch a 3D movie, ensure that the glasses provided for viewing are sterilized. The sharing of 3D glasses is one of the factors for the increase in conjunctivitis cases of late. With the monsoon round the corner, the eye infection will only spread faster, say doctors.

“Using unsterile 3D glasses previously worn by an infected person could leave you infected. Thousands of people watch films everyday, and given the popularity of 3D movies it is necessary that extra care be taken for the sterilisation of eyewear,” said an expert. He said use of disposable glasses was advisable.

What is conjunctivitis?

Inflammation is seen as reddish change in the periphery of the eye often accompanied by a pus-like discharge.

Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is the mucous membrane covering the white of the eyes and the inner side of the eyelids.

It usually affects both eyes at the same time – although it may start in one eye and spread to the other after a day or two. It may be asymmetrical, affecting one eye more than the other.

There are many causes and the treatment will depend upon the cause.

Conjunctivitis is a common eye condition. It’s not serious, but it can be uncomfortable and irritating.
