The summer temperatures are consistently above 40 degrees Celsius in many parts of the country. While we adjust our diet and fitness routines during the summer, we should also pay attention to our eye health. In summer, we see a rise in eye problems like allergic conjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome and styes. While we are at home during the pandemic, it also leads to more time spent in front of screens like the TV, laptop or phone.
These ailments are caused by increase in heat as well as pollutants like dust, pollen or smoke. These can lead to symptoms like itching, redness and sticky mucus like discharge from the eye lids.
However, you can protect your eyes from the sun when you are outdoors by using UV protective sunglasses. Maintaining hand hygiene is especially important especially when you have itchy eyes and are likely to rub your eyes more.
It is also important to stay hydrated in the summer and wash your eyes with cold water from time to time. If you wear contact lenses, it is important to clean them regularly to avoid bacterial infections.
