Sunglasses and a Cap Outdoors
Sun-protective sunglasses and a cap outdoors. Eye protection first, before any kitchen remedy.
Protect the eyes before treating them
Strong sun, glare and dust are everyday strains for the eyes. Sunglasses that block UV and a wide-brimmed cap cut the glare and the light that reaches the eyes, and help the skin around the eyes too. This is protection, not a treatment, and it matters more than most kitchen remedies for eyes.
Look for a label saying UV400 or 100 percent UV protection, since dark lenses without UV filters can do more harm by opening the pupil wider. Wear them on bright days, near water and while driving. Eye pain, redness that lasts, sudden sight loss or flashes of light need an eye doctor straight away.
