Got the sun in your eye?

Summer can be hard on your eyes but with these simple tips you can
stay safe and comfortable
The heat, dust and excessive light of the sun during summer can make
life difficult. This is the timewhen one is advised to take extra
precautions for skin and hair care. Similarlyit is also important to
protect one's eyes. Here's what you need to do.
Use good sunglasses: Justas sunscreen ensures that the sun's UV rays
don't harm our skin, UV treated lenses block those same rays from
damaging our eyes. Overexposure to ultraviolet light is thought to
cause cataracts, retinal damage and other eye problems. The ideal
summer sunglasses are those with a wrap-around frame to keep the sun
and the dust out. Typically ultraviolet light tends to reflect off
water and snow. If you are planning to indulge in water sports be sure
to use a good pair of sunglasses. If not, usually the eye turns red by
evening and, in sensitive cases, the cornea may evenget injured. .
Protective clear glasses: Outdoor activities like camping are now
common.But, when chopping wood or cooking around a camp fire, be sure
to use clear protective glasses. Often flying embers, especially in a
stiff wind, can lead to severe burns that could have been avoided. In
outdoor sports like cycling and dirt biking, the eyes are likely to be
hit by flyingdebris. Foresight and a little care will go a long way in
letting you enjoy your vacation safely.
Pool protection: Cool water and blue pool can bevery inviting on a hot
day. But make sure you do not forget your goggles. In summer, the
incidence of skin infection in swimmingpools increases so most pools
will increase the amount of chlorine or other chemicals to keep the
water safe. This often leads to irritation in the eyes. Use your
goggles andwash your eyes with fresh water the minute you get out of
the pool.
Lubricating drops: It's not only the skin that dries outin summer.
Even the eyes tend to do that. Lubricatingdrops are the ideal
solution. Ideally the drops should be preservative freeand fortunately
many are now available off the shelf.Use the drops freely to keep the
eyes comortable/
