Tener un problema en los ojos ya es bastante malo, pero la situaci\u00f3n empeora a\u00fan m\u00e1s si confundes accidentalmente tu medicamento en gotas para los ojos con otro frasco de aspecto similar. Puede parecer una situaci\u00f3n poco probable, pero sucede. De hecho, es bastante com\u00fan. Hay una variedad de otros frascos, como gotas para los o\u00eddos (el percance m\u00e1s com\u00fan), pegamento para u\u00f1as e incluso pegamento instant\u00e1neo, que tienen el tama\u00f1o justo para confundirse f\u00e1cilmente con gotas para los ojos.<\/p>\n

No es de extra\u00f1ar que ponerse gotas para los o\u00eddos en los ojos pueda provocar una situaci\u00f3n grave. Los s\u00edntomas t\u00edpicos de hacerlo incluyen enrojecimiento, ardor y escozor, y tambi\u00e9n puede causar hinchaz\u00f3n y visi\u00f3n borrosa. Ponerse pegamento en los ojos es obviamente a\u00fan peor, e incluso detectarlo r\u00e1pidamente y lavarse los ojos con agua puede provocar que los p\u00e1rpados se peguen, lo que requiere una visita a urgencias.<\/p>\n

\u201cSi bien es muy poco probable que las similitudes entre los frascos cambien pronto, hay varias formas de evitar la posibilidad de mezclar los medicamentos\u201d.<\/em> dice el oftalm\u00f3logo Dr. Stuart Ball de Premier Medical.<\/p>\n

A continuaci\u00f3n, se incluyen algunas de las sugerencias del Dr. Ball para evitar confusiones en los ojos:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gu\u00e1rdelos por separado<\/strong>En lugar de mantener todos los medicamentos juntos en un solo lugar, mantenga las gotas para los ojos completamente separadas de otros frascos. Y, si es posible, guarde las gotas para los ojos y los o\u00eddos en su envase original, que generalmente tiene im\u00e1genes de los ojos o los o\u00eddos en la caja para ayudar a distinguirlos.<\/li>\n
  2. Crear un horario.<\/strong> Si toma gotas para los ojos y los o\u00eddos al mismo tiempo, cree un cronograma que le permita tomarlas en diferentes momentos del d\u00eda.<\/li>\n
  3. Vuelva a comprobar antes de usar<\/strong>Antes de colocarse gotas en los ojos, vuelva a comprobar el envase para asegurarse de que se trata del medicamento correcto. Intente leer la etiqueta en voz alta para asegurarse de que no haya ning\u00fan error.<\/li>\n
  4. Conozca el aspecto de su medicamento.<\/strong> Si su problema ocular le impide ver con la suficiente claridad como para leer la etiqueta con atenci\u00f3n, aprenda el color de la tapa de sus gotas oft\u00e1lmicas espec\u00edficas para poder distinguirlas mejor.<\/li>\n
  5. Deseche los medicamentos no utilizados.<\/strong> Una vez que haya terminado de usar las gotas para los ojos o los o\u00eddos, des\u00e9chelas. Si utiliza menos frascos, habr\u00e1 menos posibilidades de mezclar los medicamentos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
