• Most of us are aware of the damage UV rays cause
  to our eyes and the disorders it leads to, such
  as cataracts or retinal damage. And though these
  are more severe issues which are widely
  discussed, the season of summer brings a wave of
  eye disorders which you might not be prepared
  for. Though these are very common eye problems
  and easily treatable, they can lead to major
  issues if not detected and treated in time.
  Hence, it is always prudent to be aware of the
  signs and symptoms that indicate such eye
  disorders. Here are some of the most common eye
  disorders and how you can detect them
• Dry Eyes
• Our eye surface is covered with a liquid tear
  film that keeps it moist and prevents dust
  particles from depositing. But under the summer
  heat, this tear film tends to evaporate quickly,
  and the dry air is filled with moving dust
  particles to attack the eye surface. This causes
  severe irritation, burning, and redness in the
  eyes, a condition you know as dry eyes. If the
  eye surface continues to be dry, it can cause
  severe consequences to the cornea.
• It is always recommended to use eyedrops to
  refill the eyes tear layer whenever you can
  during summer.

• Styes
• A sty occurs as a pimple-like swelling along the
  edge of the eyelids and causes inflammation,
  redness, and pain. Its a bacterial infection
  caused by the Staphylococcus bacteria. While the
  swelling grows, ti causes severe discomfort
  around the eye, and when it bursts, it discharges
  unhygienic pus and blood, which leave stains.
• Hence, if you develop a sty, you must visit your
  eye care hospital and get antibiotics and
  analgesic eyedrops immediately while maintaining
  proper hygiene around the eye.
• Conjunctivitis
• Popularly known as pink eye, conjunctivitis can
  be caused either by viral, bacterial, or fungal
  infections and one of the rare conditions that
  are contagious and spreads from one person to
  another only through direct contact and sharing
  of objects. Since such bacterias grow more during
  summer, its more prevalent during this season.

• Eye Allergies
• Since our eyes more prone to viral and bacterial
  infections due to the high levels of pollutants
  in the air during summer, it is natural to
  develop some eye allergies. Though most of these
  allergies dont last long, they cause severe
  distress and vision problems while they persist.
• Eye allergies are easily treatable and avoidable
  by following simple eye care tips such as
• Wearing UV-protected shades while traveling
• Wearing swimming goggles while swimming
• Frequently cleaning your house and maintaining
  personal hygiene
• Avoiding repeatedly touching our rubbing our eyes
