Summary:
Celebrated with joy and colours, Holi spells new beginnings as the sun begins to shine brighter on us. Over the years, natural colours that are used on this day have been replaced by metallic and synthetic colours. These colours can cause irritation and/or allergies, infections, and sometimes even temporary blindness. Stay cautious: Take precautionary measure to not to let anyone smear the colours anywhere near the eye. Due to its water-absorbing properties, contact lenses tend to concentrate any coloured water that enters the eye increasing the risk of allergies and infections..
