asset from any damage.

3. Don’t Forget Your Shades
The sunlight reflecting off the water, reflective
surfaces, and sand into your eyes, can result in
photokeratitis. This is a painful condition and is
caused when the UV rays of the sun not only
burns your skin but also burns the surface of your
eye. It causes redness, pain, blurriness and may
even cause temporary blindness are some of the
symptoms of this condition. Wear sunglasses with
100% UV protection for avoiding photokeratitis.

4. Avoid getting a Swimmer’s Eye
Pools – the name sounds so refreshing and
brings a feeling of relief during hot summer
days. But the pool water can be really tough
on your eyes. The chemicals that are used for
keeping the water clean affect the tear film in
your eyes. As a result, you suffer from
redness and blurry vision. Wear swimming
goggles to protect your eyes. If the pool water
gets into your eyes, splash your eyes with
fresh water once you get out of the pool.

5. Protect Your Eyes From Dryness
Spending time outside during summers can
be tough for your eyes. As the wind is hot and
dry and can cause a common issue called Dry
Eyes. The hot and dry weather affect the tear
film in your eyes and make them dry. Protect
your eyes by wearing wrap-around glasses.
Use artificial tears to keep your eyes moist. If
you are suffering from dry eye consult the
eye specialist in south Kolkata

6. Be Safe from Home/DIY Projects
Protecting your eyes doesn’t only mean
wearing sunglasses. Take care of them while
doing DIY projects at home. Buy professional
quality goggles to avoid injury while
gardening. In case anything hits your eyes,
put some ice on the affected eyes and
immediately rush to the doctor.

7. Wash Your Hands
Do this before touching your eyes.
Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes
while you are out. In case you wear
contact lenses, take care. Dirty hands
may cause eye infections.

8. Eat Healthily & Stay Hydrated
Fruits and veggies contain lutein and
zeaxanthin. These are antioxidants that can help
in resisting cataract, and macular degeneration.
Additionally, you get easily dehydrated during
summers. And this can affect your eyes. Serious
dehydration makes it tough for the eyes to
produce tears and as a result, you may suffer
from dry eye symptoms and other vision issues.
Drink plenty of water. This helps in reversing
the negative effects of dehydration.
