Sore eyes, also known as conjunctivitis, are a common summer eye problem in the Philippines. In this video, Dr. Francis Efraim Laksamana explains why red eyes, eye irritation, and eye infection become more common during hot and humid weather, especially after beach trips, swimming pool exposure, and frequent face touching with sweaty hands. The discussion covers the main types of conjunctivitis, including viral conjunctivitis, bacterial conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and irritant conjunctivitis, along with the key differences in symptoms such as watery eyes, itching, eye redness, and yellow-green discharge.

It also explains why not all red eyes are sore eyes and why blurred vision or eye pain may point to a more serious condition such as glaucoma or uveitis. The video includes practical eye care tips for summer, including cold compress, hand washing, alcohol sanitizer, avoiding eye rubbing, using sunglasses or shades, and preventing transmission through hand-to-eye contact. This is a useful guide for anyone searching for sore eyes treatment, eye infection symptoms, eye allergy relief, and conjunctivitis prevention in English for a Filipino audience.
