So, even a little carelessness towards personal hygiene can result into eye problems. Read: Have eye pain? Here’s what you should know

Dr Harshvardhan Ghorpade, Cornea, Cataract and Refractive Surgeon at Department of Visual Sciences, Hiranandani Hospital explains, “During monsoon, common eye infections are viral bacterial conjunctivitis, eye allergies, fungal and bacterial corneal ulcers, dengue eye disease, microsporidial corneal infections and contact lens related infections.”

Dr Harshvardhan Ghorpade  lists out care tips to keep your eyes as healthy as possible.
