Dr Isaac Asirifi, the Resident Optometrist at the International Maritime Hospital (IMaH), says washing infected eyes with seawater could trigger severe eye damage. Dr Asirifi advised that a medical doctor must be consulted for proper eye care, especially with infections like ldquo;Apollo, rdquo; which may cause reddish, painful, and swollen eyes in most cases, saying patients must not resort to washing the eye with seawater.
