According to Dichen Donggala Eye Treatment Center, 12 to 15 people have eye-related problems out of 45 to 50 people who come to the eye treatment center at the headquarters in Fungling. It is projected that the number of treatment centers will increase as it has just started to appear.

According to Kazi Gurung, in-charge of the eye treatment center, it is a type of virus and appears after the cold season ends and the heat begins. Due to communicable diseases, children and people in urban areas are more affected. "Because the infection occurs in the conjunctival layer inside the eye, it lasts for a week," Gurung added. Health workers suggest that it is better to get tested and take medicine at the beginning because of

access. Otherwise, cleaning the eyes with clean water helps in improvement. When this problem starts to appear, problems such as eye watering, flickering, itching and redness appear. Kazi Thebe, another health worker, suggests to pay attention to the cleanliness and treatment of the eye after laying it.

This problem usually resolves in seven days, if not then it can be prolonged for 14 to 21 days . After more than seven days, cross-infection occurs and caution should be taken. In such a situation, if the eye is closed too much, the risk of swelling in the baby is high . In rural areas, even if dirty water is applied to the eyes, infection is seen. Health workers suggest that it would be better to use boiled water. The treatment center has the data of a client who came from Paktanglung, Mikwakhola, Meringden Rural Municipality, which is a day's distance away, after having a lot of eye problems. 

There is an eye treatment center at Fungling, the headquarters in Taplejung, and Dobhan Bazar of Meringden Rural Municipality.
