Holi is a festival of fun and frolic. But some precautions are mandatory as otherwise you may land up in trouble.
Dr Himanshu Mehta, Chairman & MD, The Vission Eye Center, Mumbai, shares some tips that can help you to protect your eyes during the Holi: 
·         Firstly remove your contact lenses before stepping out to play Holi.
·         If the colour gets in your eyes, thoroughly wash your eyes with clean water immediately.
·         Do not put any steroids in the eyes.
·         Use of Hard Colours, Gulaal could be a toxic for Cornea which could result in temporary visual distraction
·         Water balloons if hit directly to your eyes can cause a serious eye injury or permanent blindness. Water balloon injury to eyes can be compared with getting hit with a missile.
·         If you feel any signs like decreased vision, swelling or pain in your eyes, visit an eye doctor immediately
·         A minor girl had lost her permanent vision in Holi festival, 15 years back as someone had put Calcium Carbonate Chuna. Please do not indulge in such activities.

·         Eyes are Gods gift to mankind. Take care of them.tips
