5 Essential Tips to Protect Your Eyes This Holi

Wear Sunglasses

Wearing sunglasses can protect your eyes with gulaal and powder that can enter while playing Holi. This will cover your eyes and will protect them from getting damaged by the colours.

Tie Your Hair

Make a tied bun or ponytail and wear a cap to avoid the liquid colour dripping from your hair to the eyes as they may irritate the eyes.

Don't Wear Contact Lenses

 If you wear contact lenses daily, remove them before playing Holi as the colour can get into your eyes and can cause prolonged damage. Also, colour can stain your lenses.

Apply Coconut Oil

Apply a generous amount of oil around your eyes to make a protective barrier from harmful colours. Colours will not stick to the eyes and it will be easy for you to remove while taking a bath.

Avoid Rubbing Eyes

Try to avoid rubbing as the colour on your hand will be transferred to your eyes. If any particle gets into the eyes, it may result in a scratch and will lead to corneal abrasion. Make sure your hands are properly cleaned.
