Air Pollution's Direct Impact on Eye Health and Potential Long-Term Damage
Rising air pollution, particularly fine particles like PM2.5 and PM10, directly irritates the eyes by settling on the ocular surface and altering tear film pH. This can lead to inflammation, symptoms resembling allergic conjunctivitis, and aggravate conditions like dry eye syndrome. Experts warn that prolonged exposure can cause long-term damage, affecting everyone but posing greater risks to individuals with pre-existing eye conditions such as glaucoma or chronic dryness.
