Nearly 30% of my class strength have eye infection. Either they are abstaining from daily classes or attending the class by putting up black glasses. We were asked to stay away from them as the infection may spread to other students as well. Teachers have asked the infected students not to come to school. Not only my school there are many other persons infected with this infection.
This is very common sight during the monsoon season in India. The frequent change of weather and temperature bring the so-called Conjunctivitis infection. This infection is communicable and easily spread from person to person. The common symptoms include, redness, itching, tearing of the eye, and sometime the discharge of fluids. This is very painful experience as sometime the irritation and itching become unbearable. This gets at extreme during the day time while gets normal post the sunset.
