Holi 2025: Tips To Protect Your Eyes During Festival Of Colours

Avoid forcing others to join Holi celebrations, as it may lead to injuries, and never use colours, especially gulal.

Opt for traditional, natural Holi colors made from flowers and turmeric, which are gentle on skin and eyes, instead of toxic. 

Wear protective eyewear and take precautions like tying your hair back and using a scarf or hat to shield your eyes and face from Holi colours.

Avoid wearing contact lenses during Holi, as colours can cause chemical injuries, staining, and infections. 

Avoid touching your face and eyes during Holi celebrations, and use a clean handkerchief or scarf to cover them. 

In case of an eye injury during Holi, seek immediate help from an eye care professional, and use only lubricating eye drops that are not expired. 

In case of an eye injury during Holi, remain calm and composed to ensure a swift and effective response, avoiding chaos and arguments.

If wearing contact lenses during Holi, remove them immediately to prevent absorption and prolonged release of harmful chemicals.

Immediately remove as much colour as possible from the eye, inspect for cuts, and rush to a medical facility if any cuts are found.

Irrigate the eyes with lubricating eye drops or tear supplements to calm irritation and wash off residual colours,
