Eye disease has suddenly spread abnormally in Mirsharai Upazila of Chittagong. People from different unions of the upazila were seen flocking to local hospitals including the upazila health complex for eye diseases. Almost people are reading black glasses in their eyes.

A person named Sirajul Islam who came for eye treatment said that a week ago I suddenly felt pain in one of my eyes. Then the eyes turn red. I use the drops after seeing a local eye doctor. By now the disease had spread to my entire family. Currently, 5 people in the family including my father, mother, wife and children are suffering from eye disease.

Upazila Health Officer Minhaj Uddin said, this eye disease is a viral disease. In any season of the year, eye diseases appear prominently. Again after the flood, the disease spread around. To get rid of it, you should always keep your hands and eyes clean. Keep eyes free from dust. Hand sanitizer, tissues should be kept with you. Contact with infected persons should be avoided.
