thebalanced.newsExperts Highlight Increased Eye Irritation Risks from Chlorine and Pollution in Summer
During summer, eye irritation and allergies increase due to factors like chlorine exposure in swimming pools and heightened pollution levels. Experts note that chlorine can disrupt the eye's protective tear film, leading to redness, itching, and infections, especially in children. Simultaneously, pollution exacerbates eye allergies by weakening the tear film and intensifying allergen effects. Preventive care and awareness of symptoms such as redness, watering, and burning are advised to protect eye health during this season.
