Monsoon Eye Care Tips: While the rainy season on one hand gives relief to the heart, on the other hand, this season also brings many diseases. Due to humidity and dirt, eye problems like infection, irritation, itching, redness of the eyes, etc. become common in this season.
Dr. Ashish Patel explains that, due to increased humidity and dirt during monsoon, bacteria grow rapidly in the eyes. If not taken care of in time, these infections can also affect your vision. In such a situation, we are going to tell you some tips to protect your eyes from bacterial infection in monsoon. Let us know some tips to protect the eyes from bacterial infection during the rainy season
According to Dr. Ashish Patel, bacteria and viruses spread quickly during the rainy season. Touching the eyes with dirty hands increases the risk of infection. Therefore, always touch the eyes with clean hands or it is better to avoid touching the eyes repeatedly.
Wash your eyes with clean water every morning and at night before going to bed. This removes dust, dirt and bacteria and reduces the risk of infection.
If you feel burning or itching in your eyes during monsoon, avoid applying eye drops yourself. Consult a doctor first and use proper medicine.
If you wear contact lenses, take precautions during monsoon. Rainwater can cause bacteria to enter the lenses, which can cause infection. It would be better to use glasses during this season.
Eyes become wet due to getting wet in the rain or coming in contact with water. In such a situation, immediately wipe the eyes with a clean cloth, so that fungal infection can be prevented.
Use waterproof makeup for eyes during monsoon. Bad or expired makeup products can cause damage to the eyes.
For eye health, it is important that you include foods rich in Vitamin A, C and E in your diet like carrots, spinach, mango, milk etc.
Due to spending more time indoors during rainy days, people use mobile, laptop etc. more. This makes the eyes tired. Take a break of 20 seconds every 20 minutes and look 20 feet away.
