Eye care

The eyes really come under stress during summer. They feel dry and irritated, and sometimes have a burning sensation. To safeguard them from the traumatic heat and sun wear, good quality glasses with a SPF guard is essential.

• Make sure the glasses are large enough to cover the whole eye area.
• Cool your eyes by placing cotton soaked in iced mint tea.
• Choose rap-around styles so that sun rays cannot enter from sides.
• Contact lense don't provide complete UV protection.
• The sun rays can still be harsh on cloudy and hazy days.
• UV light can be more intense at higher altitudes.
• Never look directly at the sun.
• Try to keep yourself out of sun between 10 a.m and 2 a.m, when the sun's UV rays are the strongest.
