Delhi Air Pollution and Screen Use Linked to Eye Irritation and Strain
Rising air pollution in Delhi is causing eye irritation symptoms such as redness, dryness, itching, and excessive watering, especially among those with pre-existing dry eyes or allergies. Pollutants like PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide disrupt the tear film, leading to discomfort. Additionally, prolonged screen use without breaks can cause eye strain, headaches, and focusing difficulties. Experts recommend recognizing symptoms early, taking precautions against pollution exposure, and following practices like the 20-20-20 rule to maintain eye health.
