Summer arrives with bright skies, vacations, mangoes, and long afternoons outdoors. But behind the warmth and sunlight is another reality that many people ignore until discomfort begins, eye strain and heat-related eye problems.People who spend long hours outside, whether traffic police officers, street vendors, delivery workers, construction labourers, athletes, farmers, or even daily commuters, expose their eyes to more stress than they realise. The combination of ultraviolet rays, hot dry winds, sweat, dust, pollution, and dehydration creates the perfect conditions for eye irritation.What makes it more concerning is that eye damage caused by sunlight often builds slowly. The discomfort may begin with redness or itching, but years of exposure can increase the risk of serious conditions affecting vision.
