Most of the holi colours sold these days contain many harmful chemicals which may lead to many problems ranging from eye irritation to blindness.
How to protect your eyes during holi
-Use clear glasses or sunglasses to protect your eyes from holi powder
- Wear a hat or cap to protect your hair and eyes
-Apply a thick layer of cold cream on your face especially around the eyes, so that colour does not stick and can be easily washed off.
While washing off the colour, keep your eyes closed and use warm water
- Remove contact lenses while playing holi. If contact lenses come in contact with holi powder it is virtually impossible to clean them completely. If it is at all necessary to use contact lenses , wear daily use disposable contact lenses and discard it afterwards.
- Avoid powder, paste or coloured liquid in the eyes. In case it goes in inadvertently wash the eye out immediately with copious water which will dilute the side effect of the irritant. If the irritation and redness persist or if the vision become blurred consult an eye doctor immediately

A new device for constant monitoring of IOP(eye pressures)
A sensor in the lens detects when the curvature changes. As eye pressure fluctuates throughout the day and night, the curve of the lens changes, generating an electrical signal sent to a wireless device that records the signals. Similar to how an electrocardiogram shows a heartbeat, the profile of signals from the smart lens indirectly shows eye pressure changes over time.

What Is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia (which literally means "aging eye") is an age-related eye condition that makes it more difficult to see very close.

When you are young, the lens in your eye is soft and flexible. The lens of the eye changes its shape easily, allowing you to focus on objects both close and far away.

After the age of 40, the lens becomes more rigid. Because the lens can’t change shape as easily as it once did, it is more difficult to read at close range. This normal condition is called presbyopia.

Since nearly everyone develops presbyopia, if a person also has myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) or astigmatism, the conditions will combine. People with myopia may have fewer problems with presbyopia.

Causes of Presbyopia

Unlike other refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism, presbyopia is caused by an age-related process that leads to the eye's lens losing its flexibility.

It is generally believed that as we age, changes in the lens’s proteins make the lens more rigid and less flexible over time. Also, muscles surrounding the lens may lose their elasticity. As the lens becomes less flexible and able to change shape as easily as it used to, the eye has a harder time focusing on close objects. This is why people over age 40 often find themselves holding reading material farther away to be able to see it clearly.

Presbyopia Symptoms

Some of the signs and symptoms of presbyopia include eyestrain, headaches or feeling tired from doing up-close work. One of the most obvious signs of presbyopia is the need to hold reading materials at arm's length in order to focus properly.

The symptoms of hyperopia (farsightedness) and presbyopia are similar, however, they are caused by different things. Hyperopia is a refractive error that occurs when the eye is shorter than normal or has a cornea (clear front window of the eye) that is too flat. As a result, light rays focus beyond the retina instead of on it. Generally, this allows you to see distant objects clearly but near objects will appear blurred. While hyperopia is usually present from birth, presbyopia develops later — usually around age 40.

Most people rank losing eyesight as their greatest fear. It is understandable then that being diagnosed with glaucoma, a condition that manifests silently and is currently incurable, is a cause for deep anxiety. While it is true that glaucoma causes vision loss to some degree, we have made a great deal of progress over the years in understanding the condition, arriving at a more accurate diagnosis and being able to better manage the condition.

What Is a Pinguecula and a Pterygium (Surfer's Eye)?

Pterygium (pronounced tur-IJ-ee-um) and pinguecula (pronounced pin- GWEK-yoo-la) are growths on the cornea (the clear front window of the eye) and the conjunctiva — the thin, filmy membrane that covers the white part of your eye (sclera). Both growths are noncancerous and are fairly common.

A pinguecula (above) is a yellowish patch or bump on the conjunctiva, near the cornea. It most often appears on the side of the eye closest to the nose. It is a change in the normal tissue that results in a deposit of protein, fat and/or calcium. It is similar to a callus on the skin.

A pterygium (also known as surfer's eye or farmer's eye) is a triangular-shaped growth of fleshy tissue on the white of the eye that eventually extends over the cornea. This growth may remain small or grow large enough to interfere with vision. A pterygium can often develop from a pinguecula

Some pterygia may become red and swollen on occasion, and some may become large or thick, making you feel like you have something in your eye. If a pterygium is large enough, it can actually affect the shape of the cornea’s surface, leading to astigmatism.

It is not entirely clear what causes pterygia and pingueculae to develop. Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun is believed to be a factor in the development of these growths. Other factors believed to cause pterygia and pingueculae are dry eye and environmental elements such as wind and dust.

Pinguecula and Pterygium (Surfer's Eye) Symptoms

In most people, the first sign of a pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the conjunctiva, usually on the side of the eye closest to the nose.

A pinguecula usually has few symptoms, however, if it becomes irritated, you may feel as if you have something in your eye. In some cases, pingueculae become swollen and inflamed. Irritation and eye redness may occur, particularly if you are significantly exposed to sun, wind, dust or a very dry environment.

With a pterygium, some people may have no symptoms other than the growth appearing. For others, especially those who have a pterygium that is growing, there can be redness, inflammation or both.

Other symptoms may include:

Blurred vision

Itching

Burning

Gritty feeling

Feeling of having foreign material in your eye
