So, summer has finally arrived, isn’t it? We’re all excited about going outside and enjoying the sunshine. However, you are aware of how we constantly remind each other to apply sunscreen? Well, with all that sun protection gear, our poor eyes kind of get overlooked! And to be honest, that intense summertime glare can eventually cause serious harm to our eyes.
Consider it this way: if we are not careful in the sun, our eyes may also suffer, just as our skin may become a little rough if we don’t take care of it. It’s a dead-easy fix, isn’t it? Yes, sunglasses! But not just any pair of cheap shoes you find on the beach. You must have a good one.
It’s a dead-easy fix, isn’t it? Yes, sunglasses! But not just any pair of cheap shoes you find on the beach. You need a good one that effectively and totally blocks those sneaky UVA and UVB rays. Look closely at the label and make sure they have that 100% UV protection thing on. Don’t just choose the darkest ones because you think they’re the best. And you understand this? Keep your shades close at hand because the sun is still out there, even on overcast days when it’s hiding behind the clouds. A stylish hat with a broad brim? Especially when the sun is really beating down, it’s like giving your eyes their own little VIP shade spot.
Now, imagine how you feel like complete garbage when you’re hot and bothered in the summer and haven’t had enough to drink. Indeed, our eyes can also become somewhat like that! Maintaining adequate hydration keeps them nice and moist and prevents that annoying dry, gritty feeling that comes with being in the AC or scorching. Perhaps speak with your eye doctor briefly if, even after drinking a lot, your eyes continue to feel somewhat like sandpaper. Since they can truly save lives, they might recommend some of those eye drops.
And if you intend to cool off by taking a dip in the pool? Proper goggles, buddy! It’s definitely worth putting up a barrier because that chlorine can be a bit shocking to your eyes.
And just a small habit to try to develop, huh? Avoid rubbing your eyes, especially after going out and about. You don’t want to take the chance of getting an eye infection because you never know what tiny particles of dust or anything else might be on your hands.
Basically, it’s all about being a little more considerate, isn’t it? Let’s treat our eyes with a little of the same care that we give our skin during the summer. Wearing good sunglasses, staying hydrated, and possibly some swimming with goggles.
