eye flu glasses - #21230

Mahi

I am really confused and a little worried about this whole situation with my eyes. A few days ago, my left eye started watering like crazy, and then I noticed some redness, almost like it was trying to tell me something! I thought it was just allergies or maybe I was getting sick, but then I remembered my friend had something similar last month and it turned out to be eye flu, which sounded pretty bad. I went to see a doctor, and they mentioned I should get eye flu glasses? At first I thought it was a joke or something, but they said they actually help protect your eyes from getting worse. But can eye flu glasses really do anything? I mean, would they keep the germs away? I’ve been trying to do cold compresses, which help a bit, but do you guys think eye flu glasses would be a good idea?? I'm seriously wondering if I should get a pair just to be safe because my eye feels a bit gritty and it’s not getting better. Do eye flu glasses even work? Like, how do they help you while you have eye flu? I don’t want to end up with this spreading or something. Any advice from you all would be super helpful!!
