Holi is a festival of fun and frolic. But some precautions are mandatory as otherwise you may land up in trouble.
Dr Himanshu Mehta, Chairman & MD, The Vission Eye Center, Mumbai, shares some tips that can help you to protect your eyes during the Holi:
·
Firstly
remove your contact lenses before stepping out to play Holi.
·
If
the colour gets in your eyes, thoroughly wash your eyes with clean water
immediately.
·
Do
not put any steroids in the eyes.
·
Use
of Hard Colours, Gulaal could be a toxic for Cornea which could result in
temporary visual distraction
·
Water
balloons if hit directly to your eyes can cause a serious eye injury or
permanent blindness. Water balloon injury to eyes can be compared with getting
hit with a missile.
·
If
you feel any signs like decreased vision, swelling or pain in your eyes, visit
an eye doctor immediately
·
A
minor girl had lost her permanent vision in Holi festival, 15 years back as

activities.
