PARTY-PERFECT EYE CARE TIPS

PARTY-PERFECT EYE CARE TIPS

1. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

·         Over-exposure to the sun’s powerful UV rays can

temporarily harm eyes, or cause photokeratitis.

·         Always wear anti-glare sunglasses before stepping out.

·         The glares will help fight the air as well as the harsh sun rays.

·         If you wear contact lenses, use artificial tears regularly as soft contact lenses are like little sponges and need lots of moisture.

·         If they start to dry out, they can change shape and stick to the eye, becoming painful and cloudy.

·         Also, limit your alcohol intake if you use contacts, as they dehydrate the skin.

·         Splash cool water regularly on your eyes to remove dust and dirt.

·         Do not use hot water for cleaning your eyes as they lose moisture and become dry.

·         Don’t rub your eyes with dirty hands.

·         Apply good quality eye cream around the eyes as it protects the delicate eye area and reduces intensity of black circles.

2. DURING WINTER

·        

Winter causes eye infections such as redness, burning, irritation, watering, swelling, pain, or blurred vision, in people prone to dryness, allergies, and seasonal changes.

·         Fine lines and wrinkles develop near the eyes because the cold air hits your face when you are walking or driving.

·         When facing cold winter winds, shield yourself from their drying elements with sunglasses, which prevent evaporation of your eye’s tear film.

·         If dry eye symptoms worsen in winter, use lubricating eye drops that ease common pain and itchiness.

·         Avoid self-medication and consult an eye doctor for your eye care.
