Hot days: stress for your eyes

Common strains on the eyes include:

1. intense sunlight and UV radiation

– Always wear high-quality sunglasses with sufficient UV protection (ideally up to UV 400). Tips on choosing sunglasses can be found here…

2. Staying in air-conditioned rooms

– If you work at a PC and your office is air-conditioned, try to blink more often. Take regular “eye breaks”. Close your eyes for a few seconds and focus on distant objects to relax the eye muscles and stimulate tear production.

3. Swimming pool

– Chlorinated water in swimming pools promotes dryness. Use swimming goggles to protect your eyes from chlorine and other chemicals in swimming pools.

Further general advice

– Drink enough water throughout the day, as feeling thirsty is already a sign that dehydration is beginning.

– Pay attention to a balanced, vitamin-rich diet to reduce inflammation and strengthen the eyes from within. You can find foods that contain antioxidants and important vitamins, e.g. dark leafy greens, berries, etc., here…

– Spend as much time as possible in cool rooms.
