Keep An Eye On These Summer Eye Problems


Date :09-Mar-2023

Summer is the time when most people focus on enjoying the warmer weather, planning their vacations, and other fun events. But summer is also the month wherein many eye problems set in. Summer can have an impact on your eyes, and certain eye-related ailments and diseases are on the verge during this season.  

Some Major Eye Problems That Occur in Summer

 

  • Corneal Burns  

 

The word sunburn is usually associated only with the skin. However, harmful UV rays can also lead to corneal burns. This is a condition with symptoms like blurry vision, dryness, and a gritty feeling in the eye. 

Wearing sunglasses is the easiest way to protect yourself against corneal burns. Make sure to pick a pair that offers full-spectrum UV protection. For expert guidance in choosing the right sunglasses, you may consider visiting our optic center.  

 

  • Dry Eye  

 

The rise in temperatures in summer, fans, and air conditioning can all increase the occurrence of dry eye. In addition, for people living in a more arid climate, the lack of humidity can also be a compounding factor. It can increase the chances of experiencing dry eye.  

Dry eye is noticeably uncomfortable with symptoms of a gritty or stinging sensation, along with redness, sensitivity to light, and more.  Stay hydrated and consider using lubricating drops after consulting a specialist. 

 

  • Tired Eyes  

 

The summer can leave your eyes irritated and fatigued too. Give your eyes a break by getting enough sleep and try to avoid using digital devices, as those can make the situation worse.  

 

  • Allergies  

 

Eye allergies are highly prevalent in the summer. Certain plant pollens, seeds, and mold types can all cause certain eye allergies. Its symptoms may include itching, burning, and dryness of the eye.  

 

  • Infection  

 

Eye infections are high during the summer season. Wearing goggles while swimming, rinsing off after swimming, and ensuring contaminants don’t remain on your skin can reduce your odds of infection.
