It is vital to take care of your eyes to prevent infections during the monsoon season when the risk of eye-related illnesses increases significantly. The monsoon increases humidity and exposes people to more allergens and pollutants, making the atmosphere more conducive to spreading illnesses like styes, fungal infections, and conjunctivitis.
Maintaining proper eye hygiene during this time is essential. This entails routinely cleaning your hands and refraining from rubbing or scratching your eyes, as these actions can spread dangerous viruses and bacteria. Keeping your eyes healthy also involves washing them with clean water and shielding them from dust and pollution by wearing sunglasses outside.
