Sheilding Eyes This Summer

Now that the summer heat is soaring, it is time to ensure proper eye care. Our eyes are prone to UV exposure and other dangers which you may not be aware of. So, whenever you are outside under the sun always wear sunglasses which offers proper UV protection. Whether swimming, water skiing or scuba diving, it’s important that you wear goggles to protect your eyes. Drink adequate water (min of 2 litres) a day in order to keep your eyes and body hydrated. During afternoons the sunlight is harsh on the eyes thus, it is advised stay inside. If in case, you need to go outside then wear polarized lenses since they reduce the glare. Such glasses are also good to wear while driving or cycling.
