EYE

ing an outbreak. But this may
not be possible for everyone. If
your insurance allows you to get
more than 1 month of essential
eye medicine, such as glaucoma
drops, you should do so. Some
insurers will approve a 3-month
supply of medication in times of
natural disaster. Ask your pharmacist
or ophthalmologist for
help if you have trouble getting
approval from your insurance
company. And as always, request
a refill as soon as you’re due.
Don’t wait until the last minute
to contact your pharmacy.
5. Avoid rubbing your eyes.
We all do it. While it can be
hard to break this natural habit,
doing so will lower your risk of
infection. If you feel an urge
to itch or rub your eye or even
to adjust your glasses, use a tissue
instead of your fingers. Dry
eyes can lead to more rubbing,
so consider adding moisturizing
drops to your eye routine. If you
must touch your eyes for any reason
— even to administer eye
medicine — wash your hands
first with soap and water for at
least 20 seconds.
And don’t forget ...
The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) offers
general guidelines for preventing
the spread of coronavirus and
protecting your health:
Wash your hands often with
soap and water for at least 20
seconds.
You should especially wash
your hands before eating, after
using the restroom, sneezing,
coughing or blowing your nose.
If you can’t get to a sink, use
a hand sanitizer that has at least
60% alcohol.
Avoid touching your
face — particularly your eyes,
nose, and mouth.
If you cough or sneeze, cover
your face with your elbow or a
tissue. If you use a tissue, throw
it away promptly. Then go wash
your hands.
Avoid close contact with sick
people. If you think someone has
a respiratory infection, it’s safest
to stay 6 feet away.
Stay home when you are sick.
Regularly disinfect commonly
touched surfaces and items in
your house, such as doorknobs
and counter tops.
