Eye Infections in the Rainy Season

On rainy days we catch a break from the scorching heat, but the rainy season also triggers several air-borne infections. Your eyes become more prone to seasonal diseases with massive bacterial growth and virus outbreaks. The main reason behind increased eye infections is the heavy moisture content in the air, which becomes an easy breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, and other germs. Conjunctivitis, stye and dry eyes are common eye infections in the rainy season. In order to avoid eye infections during rainy season is to avoid touching your eyes, wash your hands frequently, avoid sharing towels, handkerchiefs, and pillows, avoid eye makeup, use protective gears, avoid the swimming pool and avoid rubbing your eyes.
