1. Keep your eyes and hands clean
You should wash your hands regularly with soap before touching your eyes to limit bacteria and viruses from entering. At the same time, avoid rubbing your eyes or touching dirty hands on the eye area because it can increase the risk of infection.
2. Keep your eyes clean and dry
Hot weather makes sweat and dirt easily accumulate around the eyes. You should use a soft clean towel to wipe sweat and gently clean the eye area. After swimming, wash your eyes with clean water to remove chemicals or bacteria that may remain.
3. Wear sunglasses when going out
UV rays from sunlight can cause irritation and affect eye health. When going out, you should wear sunglasses that can withstand UV rays and wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your eyes from direct sunlight.
4. Do not share personal belongings
Towels, towels, eye makeup or contact lenses are items that can spread bacteria. Therefore, you should not share them with others. Contact lenses users also need to clean properly and avoid wearing them when swimming.
5. Keep your eyes hydrated
Hot weather and prolonged use of air conditioning can cause dry eyes and irritability. You can use artificial tears or eye drops as directed to keep your eyes moist. At the same time, you should also let your eyes rest when using your phone or computer for a long time.
6. Protect your eyes when swimming
Swimming is a popular activity in the summer but also poses a risk of eye infections. When swimming, you should wear swimming goggles to limit water contact with your eyes. If water hits your eyes, wash them again with clean water immediately afterwards to reduce the risk of irritation and infection.
