50% surge in eye problems reported amid Delhi’s toxic air
Delhi's toxic air is not just choking lungs but also harming eyes, say AIIMS doctors, reporting a 50% surge in cases of dryness, burning, and irritation. Experts warn that pollutants like PM 2.5 damage the cornea and tear film, increasing eye allergies and inflammation, especially after Diwali. Protective eyewear and eye drops are advised.
