Follow these 10 important tips for eye care

1. Do not touch your eyes frequently

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.

2. Take care of eye cleanliness

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.

3. Do not panic if there is a burning sensation in the eyes

If you feel burning or itching in your eyes during monsoon, avoid applying eye drops yourself. Consult a doctor first and use proper medicine.

4. Use contact lenses wisely

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.

5. Do not let the eyes remain wet

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.

6. Use eye makeup correctly

Use waterproof makeup for eyes during monsoon. Bad or expired makeup products can cause damage to the eyes.

7. Eat a nutrient-rich diet

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.

8. Reduce mobile and screen time

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.
