As summer approaches, it brings along a lot of heat, dry winds, dust, and pollen, making our eyes vulnerable to numerous eye problems. Our body also becomes more susceptible to dehydration and heat strokes. Dr. Prabhakar GV, Consultant-Cornea, Cataract, Lasik at Sankara Eye Hospital, Hyderabad, lists down the most common eye problems caused by extreme heat, such as dry eyes, allergies, conjunctivitis, and lid stye, and suggests taking essential precautions. To prevent dry eyes, Dr. GV recommends artificial tear drops and decreasing screen time. Sunglasses can prevent allergies caused by humidity, elevated temperatures, and dust. People with conjunctivitis are advised to maintain good hygiene. Lid Stye requires consultation with an eye specialist for proper treatment. Dr. Priyanka Singh, Consultant and Eye Surgeon at Neytra Eye Centre, New Delhi, recommends treating allergic conjunctivitis, dry eyes, conjunctivitis, stye, and phototoxicity using essential precautions such as drinking enough water, wearing sunglasses, avoiding the sharing of towels and cosmetics, using air conditioning moderately, avoiding eye rubbing, and meeting an ophthalmologist in case of infections. Remember to take care of your eyes during the hot summer weather and consult an ophthalmologist whenever necessary.
