As the seasons change, your eyes are affected too. During spring and summer, higher pollen levels, wind, and increased sunlight can lead to itchy, red, or watery eyes, particularly for those prone to allergies.
At the same time, spending extended periods in air-conditioned spaces and using fans can reduce your eyes’ natural lubrication, causing dryness, irritation, or a gritty sensation.
Combined with longer hours outdoors, these factors make it essential to take proactive steps to protect and care for your eyes this season.
How to care for your eyes this season:
Wear UV-protective sunglasses and apply sunscreen to your eyelids and the delicate skin around your eyes.
Use lubricating eye drops as needed to maintain moisture.
Take regular breaks from screens and stay well hydrated.
Limit prolonged exposure to air conditioning or fans.
If you experience persistent discomfort, dryness, or irritation, we recommend booking an appointment with your optometrist to ensure your eyes remain healthy and comfortable throughout the season.
