Experts recommend the regular use of protective eyewear when going outdoors, particularly in areas with elevated pollution levels. During smoggy conditions, it is advised to opt for quality sunglasses equipped with UV protection features.
Exposure to polluted air can cause dryness and irritation in the eyes. Regular use of eye drops is recommended to maintain eye hydration and eliminate pollutants or dust particles.
Limit outdoor activities to essential tasks; consider staying home when possible. Avoid unnecessary walks, especially if there’s no urgent reason to go out, as pollutants can harm both the eyes and lungs.
It is recommended to keep windows and doors closed to prevent external dust and dirt from affecting eye health and overall well-being. Regular household cleaning, including surfaces such as beds, chairs, tables, and cupboards, is crucial.
A balanced diet contributes to protecting your eyes from the impact of pollution. Include Omega-3-rich foods like flax seeds, walnuts, and fish in your diet to combat irritation and inflammation from pollution.
