Summer is all about sunshine, vacations, and outdoor fun — but it can also be tough on your eyes. UV rays, heat, dust, chlorinated pools, and excessive screen time (yes, even indoors with the AC on) can cause irritation and long-term damage if we’re not careful.
At Trivision Eye Care and Lasik Centre, our ophthalmology experts have compiled these essential tips to keep your eyes safe, cool, and healthy during the summer months.
Why: Not all sunglasses are created equal. Choose lenses that block 99–100% of UVA and UVB rays. Oversized or wrap-around styles offer maximum coverage for your eyes and the surrounding skin.
Why: Sunscreen is essential for your skin but irritating to the eyes. Apply carefully, and if it gets in your eyes, rinse immediately with clean water. Mineral-based sunscreens are less likely to run or sting.
Why: Dehydration affects tear production, causing dry, itchy eyes. Drink enough water throughout the day, especially in air-conditioned or dry environments.
Why: Chlorine and saltwater can irritate your eyes. Always wear swimming goggles, and rinse your eyes after a swim. Use lubricating drops if dryness persists.
Why: Summer winds carry pollen, dust, and pollutants. Wear protective glasses while outdoors. If eyes feel itchy or red, avoid rubbing and use preservative-free artificial tears.
Why: Transitioning from outdoor glare to indoor screens can strain your eyes. Follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds), reduce screen brightness, and work in a well-lit space.
With just a few mindful changes, you can enjoy your summer while protecting your vision. At Trivision Eye Care and Lasik Centre, we believe eye health is a year-round priority — but summer deserves a little extra care.
