eye flu sunglasses - #21828
I am really worried about my eyes right now. A few days ago, I started feeling this itchy sensation and some redness around my eyelids. Then, it got worse, and my eyes started watering like crazy! I went to my doc, and they mentioned it could be eye flu, which I honestly didn't even know was a thing. They recommended some medication but also said I should wear eye flu sunglasses when I go outside to avoid more irritation. My question is, how important are these eye flu sunglasses, really? Like, will they actually help or is it just one of those things they tell you to make you feel better? I mean, what do they even do? Do I need a special kind, or can I just use any sunglasses I have lying around? I'm super curious because I've seen some of those fancy sunglasses online, and, honestly, they are kinda expensive. Should I invest in something like that or are normal options good enough? Also, how long does this eye flu usually last? Should I be avoiding certain activities or really just stick to the eye flu sunglasses to get by? Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks!
