Health officials in Kilifi and Mombasa counties called on residents to be cautious after increased cases of 'red eye' disease were reported in the Coast region.
Learners in the Coast region are flocking to various health facilities to seek medical care for eye infections.
It is believed that the 'red eye' or 'pink eye' disease infections might have spread from neighbouring Tanzania.
Last week, Tanzania health authorities issued an alert over an outbreak of red eye disease in the country.
The country's health ministry raised an alert that the disease, also known as conjunctivitis, had affected quite a number of the population.
