Often when we sit in an AC room, the machine sucks out all the moisture present in the air. Due to dry air in the room, the layer of natural tears present on the pupils of our eyes starts drying up rapidly. In medical language it is called ‘Dry Eye Syndrome’. Due to this, there is a problem of heaviness, severe burning sensation, stinging and redness in the eyes all the time. If you already spend a lot of time in front of the computer or mobile screen and on top of that, the direct air of the AC falls on your eyes, then this problem can weaken your eyesight at double the speed.
New trap of infection and blurred vision, do not make these mistakes even by mistake
The matter is not limited to dryness only, but the bacteria and dust particles accumulated in the filters of AC reach our eyes through the air. In this monsoon season, the risk of infection spreading in the environment is already high, in such a situation, the air coming out from contaminated AC vents can give rise to conjunctivitis and other allergies in the eyes. Many patients have also complained that after sitting in the AC for a long time, when they suddenly come out into the normal air, they start seeing everything blurry for some time. This thermal shock is not at all good for the nerves of your eyes.
