After a brief spell of breathable air, the air quality index has dipped yet again and the hazardous pollution levels are making it difficult to breathe well.We all know that air pollution carries along with serious health implications and leads to a host of issues. Difficulty breathing, congestion, compromised immunity, allergies, headaches are impacting everybody. Apart from this, pollution can also affect you in sneaky little ways, even potentially troubling your eyesight!Bad air quality has to lead to people complaining of eye problems and allergies, which need to be attended at once. Since you are constantly being exposed to smog, the pollutants find an easy way to settle in-between eye cavities and harm your vision. Some of the most visible symptoms of pollution include the following:-Water eyes-Sore eyes-Redness, swelling, itching sensation-Experiencing discomfort or a burning sensation.-Dry eyes and allergy.-Blurring and hazy vision.

If you experience any of these symptoms, practice care and avoid further exposure. The last thing you want is for the pollutants to impact your vision. There are also some ways you can protect your eyes from the nasty air pollution.

Stay hydratedIt is very important to not miss out on the water intake. Make sure to drink lots of water. It washes away the toxins as well as helps support tear formation in the eyes, which is an important function that protects against dry eyes syndrome and gets rid of irritants that may lurk beneath your eyelids.

Blink your eyes more oftenOne of the simplest ways you can undo the damage done by pollution is by blinking your eyes properly. When you blink, a special protective tear film is produced which protects your eyes, provides moisture and does not let the pollutants settle in.

Pay attention to your dietJust like the foods, you eat can clear out nasal passageways and strengthen your immunity, the same applies to your eyesight. Your daily food intake should include ample Vitamin A, Omega-3 fatty acid content, apart from green leafy vegetables and fruits. All of these food groups are good for your eyes.
