4.  Do not touch your eyes without washing
your hands

5.  Do not wipe your face with a towel/handkerchief
which has cleaned your hands and body as the
microbes may spread to your eyes

6.  Protect your eyes in essentially windy
conditions especially if you are using
contact lenses

7.  Carry your complete contact lens kit and
glasses in the event of being stranded
overnight in a downpour

8.  Those having high numbers should keep a
spare pair of spectacles at all times as an
added measure of safety

9.  Always wash your face, hands and feet
as soon as you reach home

10.  Do not open your eyes deliberately to
raindrops. They absorb atmospheric
pollutants which could be dangerous for the
eyes particularly in Industrial areas & they
also wash away the tear film, the eye’s
natural protection mechanism

11.  Children love splashing through water-
logged streets. This could be dangerous as
waterborne bacteria may cause eye
infections like conjunctivitis
