Common eye issues in Pune include dry eyes, conjunctivitis (red eye), refractive errors (like myopia or astigmatism), cataracts, and computer vision syndrome due to prolonged screen time. Pollution and allergens also contribute to eye irritation. You can consult our experienced ophthalmologist in Pune for diagnosis or treatment for any eye-related issues.
Yes. Pune's air pollution and seasonal allergens (especially during winter and post-monsoon) can irritate the eyes, causing redness, itching, and dryness. Wearing sunglasses and using lubricating drops can help.
Ideally, by age 3–5, especially if there is a family history of vision problems. School screenings are common in Pune, but an eye specialist visit in Pune is recommended for an accurate diagnosis.
Yes. With many people working IT or desk jobs in Pune, digital eye strain (or computer vision syndrome) is very common. Symptoms include blurred vision, headaches, and dry eyes. Follow the 20-20-20 rule to reduce strain.
The 20-20-20 rule is a simple and effective technique to reduce eye strain, especially for people who spend long hours looking at screens (computers, phones, and TVS).
The rule suggests that:
Every 20 minutes
Look at something 20 feet away
For at least 20 seconds
Benefits
Staring at screens for extended periods can cause digital eye strain, leading to symptoms like blurred vision, dry eyes, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain. This rule gives your eye muscles a break, helps you blink more often (preventing dryness), and reduces focus fatigue.
