Start your day by splashing cold water in your eyes. This clears the dirt accumulated in the eyes and the glands responsible for lubrication of the eyes become active.

Don't use chemical makeup products near your eyes. Instead of this, you can opt for Ayurvedic kajal or medicated eyeliner.
exposure to bright sunlight
Exposure to strong sunlight can also cause eye problems. There is a risk of allergy or infection in the eyes due to the sun's UV rays. In such a situation, go out only wearing sunglasses.
Rose Water and Cucumber
Apply cotton pads soaked in rose water to your eyes for 10 minutes daily to soothe and cleanse your eyes, thereby reducing the chances of dark circles. Apart from this, cucumber pieces also provide coolness to the eyes.
keep yourself hydrated
To keep your eyes healthy, it is important to keep yourself hydrated. You should drink enough water throughout the day. Apart from this, consume juicy fruits, herbal tea and juice. This will remove dryness of the eyes.
avoiding chlorinated water
Chlorine (found in swimming pools) can also cause eye damage during the summer. Therefore, it is advisable to wear swimming goggles to protect your eyes from swelling, irritation and itching caused by exposure to chlorine.
Healthy Diet
Apart from this, our eating habits also have a lot of impact on our eyes. Include fruits and vegetables in your diet. Fruits and vegetables contain chemicals like lutein and zeaxanthin. The antioxidants present in these can protect against eye diseases like cataract and macular degeneration.
