Delhi's poor air quality, exacerbated by Diwali pollution, along with excessive screen time, is causing eye irritation, redness, and dry eyes. Dr. Priyanka Singh advises protective measures to mitigate these effects.

The toxic air quality in Delhi, particularly after Diwali celebrations, is leading to a surge in eye-related issues such as irritation, redness, and dry eyes. The pollutants from firecrackers and vehicle exhausts exacerbate these problems by disturbing the tear film, causing inflammation and discomfort. Excessive screen time further compounds the issue by reducing tear production due to decreased blinking. Dr. Priyanka Singh recommends simple protective measures to safeguard eye health, as neglecting these issues can lead to chronic eye complications.
