Monsoon Eye Care in Varanasi: Simple Rules to Avoid Infection

The Kashi monsoon is beautiful but brings its share of red, itchy eyes. Follow these five rules.

Why monsoon is risky

Damp air, shared water sources and crowded public spaces make viral and bacterial conjunctivitis spread faster during monsoon in eastern UP.

Five simple rules

Wash hands before touching eyes, never share towels, avoid unnecessary rubbing, and consult early if redness lasts more than 48 hours. Do not use random eye drops from a pharmacy.
