6 ways to keep your eyes younger looking and healthy  this season.

1) Wear sunglasses

We already know that we must protect our skin from the Ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Prolonged exposure to these UV rays of the sun can cause photo conjunctivitis, cataracts development and cancer of the eyelids. Wear sunglasses that offer 100% protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Remember to wear sunglasses even on cloudy days.

2) Wear goggles while swimming

Swimming pool water contains chlorine that protects you from germs, but it can also cause irritation of the eyes. Prolonged exposure to chlorine can cause corneal abrasion and other eye injuries. Wear goggles even if you are going to take a swim at the beach, as the water may contain certain contaminants that may irritate the eyes.

3) Wear hats

Not only do they add style to your outfit, they can provide complete protection to your eyes from the UV rays. Sunglasses are helpful, but they have gaps, especially at the sides and therefore UVR exposure can occur. Wear a hat with a brim which is at least 3 inches wide.

4) Eye drops

Despite your best attempts, you might need eye drops to minimize pain or irritation occurring in your eyes.  You can try out ketotifen eye drops for the same. However, it is important to consult a qualified Ophthalmologist.

5)  Wash eyes with cold water

Summer heat can causes dryness of the eyes. Remember to gently wash your eyes with cold water to moisturize and soothe them. Stay hydrated.

6) Use a good moisturizer

Squinting, ageing and dryness can cause wrinkles around the eyes. Hence applying a good moisturizer keeps the skin around the eyes healthy. Try Exquis Beautiful Eyes Cream . It contains natural actives like Turmeric, Aloe Vera, Avocado and neem that helps in softening the wrinkles around the eyes and reducing dark circles, puffiness and surface discolorations; giving you a radiant look!
