Amazing ways to keep your eyes healthy in summer
wear sunglasses– When you go out in the sun, wear sunglasses that provide adequate UV protection. This will give your eyes a lot of comfort. Wear polarized lenses, as these reduce glare.
Reduce going out during the afternoon– Avoid going out between 12 noon and 3 pm. Because at this time the sun is completely overhead. If you have to go out, wear a hat on your head which protects your eyes from the sun.
use lubricating eye drops– Dry eyes are more likely to occur during the summer season. So always carry lubricating eye drops with you. Consider choosing eye drops that do not contain preservatives. As these are safe for regular use.
