Hooray, summer is coming! We are all ready to welcome the sun and the sea! And our eyes? If you have sensitive eyes, don’t make the same mistakes this summer, don’t ignore our suggestions 🙂
With global warming, the sun has begun to show its face more. Especially in summer, dryness in the eyes and around the eyes, eye infections and allergies increase much more. Kubilhan Elmas, a specialist from Kudret Eye Hospital, says that the ultraviolet rays in sunlight are not only harmful to our skin, but also to our eyes, and lists the following suggestions to protect us…

* Those who use prescription glasses and contact lenses should definitely use prescription sunglasses.
* Barrier creams that prevent ultraviolet absorption should be used for dry eyelids and eye contour and increased sensitivity.

* In the event of redness, itching or infection of the eye, the eyes should never be rubbed, especially in unsanitary conditions such as at the seaside.
