Protect Your Eyes Following These Simple Habits

Face the A/C away from your eyes

‘Blasting your A/C directly on your face may feel good on a hot summer day, but it can wreak havoc on your eyes,’ says Morgan Statt, a Health & Safety Advocate. The dry air zaps away natural moisture on the surface of your eyes. To protect eyesight, she says, point the air vents away from your face. Or turn off the vents altogether.

 

Seek shades

‘Choose sunglasses that protect against 100 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays, which can cause all sorts of eye damage and problems,’ says Vincent Hau, MD, ophthalmologist. Your shades don’t have to cost a fortune either. ‘More expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better protection,’ he says. ‘You can get drugstore sunglasses with just as good of protection or better than designer ones.’
