Common Eye Problems Due To Air Pollution | Effect Of Air Pollution On Eyes

Описание: Out of the 30 cities with the highest levels of air pollution in the world, 21 are in India. The pollution levels in our air ranges from bad to severe and this is a leading cause of eye diseases in the country. Most Indians suffer from common eye problems due to air pollution at least once in their lives.
Let’s take a look at what Dr. Gunjan from Eye-Q Super-Specialty Hospitals has to say about protecting your eyes from the ill-effects of air pollution.
Eyes are one of the most sensitive organs in the body and are most at risk for problems caused due to air pollution. Prolonged exposure to the toxins produced from factories, vehicles etc. can cause discomfort to the eyes. Common eye problems include burning, watering, itching, redness of the eyes, blurred vision, allergies, conjunctivitis, glaucoma and many more. Dry gritty eyes are a common symptom of ‘Dry Eye syndrome’ – an ailment that is common due to pollution in the air.
It is important to take certain measures to protect our eyes against air pollution exposure. Some easy-to-follow routines in our daily habits can help fight these common concerns:
Wash your hands frequently
Avoid touching and rubbing your eyes
Rinse eyes gently with clean water every night
Stay indoors during peak traffic hours or use protective eye-wear
Keep your eyes hydrated. Use doctor-recommended eye-drops or apply cold compress
While irritation in the eyes is one of the primary reasons for visits to eye-specialists in the country, it is recommended to schedule regular check-ups to keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.
