While it is virtually impossible for me to determine why you get so many eye infections without knowing your life style, I can give you some general ideas for how to prevent them in the future.

An eye wash of diluted goldenseal extract and water is very beneficial in clearing up any existing infection and preventing a future infection if you use it whenever you feel a slight irritation in your eyes. Another is simply eye drops that are usually of saline solution.


These drops clean the surface of the eye and therefore prevent infection.

Nutritionally, drinking lots of water and tea to make sure that you are properly hydrated will help a lot to prevent infection because if your eyes are properly hydrated, they will be able to flush out particles on their own.
Avoid staring at a computer screen for long period of time as this can dry out your eyes, always make sure you blink frequently and look away from your computer screen for a minute or two every fifteen to twenty minutes and close your eyes.


If your eyes feel irritated, use eye drops or an eye bath and avoid rubbing your eyes at all cost! This is very important to avoid future infections.
