A person s chances of becoming infected can be reduced by taking measures to decrease contact with mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects through the use of mosquito repellents and bednets. Avoiding exposure to blood or tissues of animals that may potentially be infected is an important protective measure for persons working with animals in RVF-endemic areas. Vaccines for veterinary use are available, but they can cause birth defects and abortions in sheep and induce only low-level protection in cattle. The human live attenuated vaccine, MP-12, has demonstrated promising results in laboratory trials in domestic animals, but more research will be needed before the vaccine can be used in the field. Sight is very important and everyone takes care of his or her eyes.
Most eye diseases spread in our community can be prevented or treated in the early stages.
Following the preventive methods in dealing with eye diseases can prevent a large number of people from being visually impaired. It also decreases the cost of treating a large number of these diseases and decreases the burden on the community in taking care of the partially sighted or blind people. Most eye drops last only for one month after opening the bottle. In addition to that bacteria can reach these bottles if they are left for a period of time and that can lead to serious eye infections. Keep all eye drops and medicines in a safe place and keep them away from the reach of children.
