🎇 Eye Care Tips for Diwali — Stay Safe, See Bright!

Diwali brings light, joy, and celebrations — but also increased risks for our eyes. Firecrackers, decorative lights, and pollution can lead to irritation, dryness, or even injury.
Here are some expert-recommended eye care tips from Delta Hospital & Cancer Center to keep your eyes healthy and protected this festive season. 👁️✨

🌟 1️⃣ Maintain a Safe Distance from Firecrackers

Always burst crackers at a safe distance and ensure children are supervised.
Avoid looking directly at bright flashes or sparks — they can cause temporary vision blurring or burns.

💨 2️⃣ Protect Your Eyes from Smoke & Pollution

Post-Diwali smoke can cause redness, burning, and watery eyes.
Wear protective glasses when stepping outdoors, and wash your face and eyes with clean water after celebrations.

🕯️ 3️⃣ Avoid Direct Exposure to Decorative Lights

Continuous exposure to intense LED or laser lights can strain your eyes.
Use moderate lighting indoors and take breaks from looking at bright decorations.

💧 4️⃣ Keep Your Eyes Hydrated

Pollution and smoke cause dryness.
Use doctor-recommended lubricating eye drops or splash plain water frequently to keep eyes moist and comfortable.

🧒 5️⃣ Take Extra Care of Children’s Eye Safety

Children are most prone to accidents during Diwali.
Keep all crackers away from the face and instruct them to wear protective eyewear if they’re near fireworks.

🧘‍♀️ 6️⃣ Eat Eye-Healthy Foods

Add vitamin A-rich foods like carrots, spinach, papaya, and milk.
A balanced festive diet supports eye strength and overall vision health.

🚨 7️⃣ In Case of Eye Injury — Don’t Rub, Rinse & Rush!

If any spark or chemical enters the eye:

• Don’t rub your eyes

• Rinse gently with clean water

• Visit your nearest eye specialist immediately
