Staring at a screen for hours, whether it is a TV, computer, or phone, can expose your eyes to blue light from the device. According to alarmist headlines too much blue light from screen time is blinding us. While “blinding” may be a little farfetched, staring at a screen for hours can lead to discomfort in your eyes.

Eye infections can cause redness, tearing and drainage. Drainage is often watery or a yellow-green pus. The drainage can be very contagious and is often treated with antibiotic eye drops that are prescribed by a doctor. They work by killing the bacteria that enter the eye and cause the infection. Bacterial conjunctivitis is one of the most common types of bacterial eye infections. It is easily spread among children in school and daycare. Sleeping in contacts and wearing dirty contacts can also lead to bacterial eye infections. This can be easily prevented by using proper contact lens care to avoid infection. If you think you have any type of eye infection, see a doctor.
