Summer is the time when many people choose to travel to the beach, but hot sun, sand and salt water can be harmful to the eyes. Here are simple ways to protect your eyes.

1.Protect your eyes from sunlight In the summer, ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be harmful to the eyes, increasing the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration if exposure is prolonged.
To protect your eyes, you should use high-quality sunglasses with 100% UV protection; polarized lenses also help reduce glare, see more clearly and limit eye strain.In addition, you need to drink enough water because dehydration also affects eye health.

2.Protect your eyes from sand. When participating in outdoor activities, especially at sea, sand can damage the surface of the eyes, leading to irritation, corneal scratches or infection.
Therefore, you should wear protective glasses or tight-fitting sunglasses to limit sand from flying into your eyes.In addition, eye drops can be used to reduce dryness and discomfort.

3.Protect your eyes when underwater Activities underwater such as swimming also pose risks to your eyes.
Salty seawater can cause irritation, red eyes and worsen dry eyes.Therefore, you should use swimming goggles to protect your eyes from harmful agents and help limit the effects of UV rays.You can also use lubricating eye drops before and after swimming to reduce irritation.

In addition, you should limit exposure to sunlight during peak hours, keep your eyes clean, and avoid rubbing your eyes with dirty hands to reduce the risk of irritation and infection.
