Why children and the elderly are at higher risk of eye problems after Diwali

Delhi’s air quality plummeted to severe levels post-Diwali, with AQI scores exceeding 350 due to firecracker emissions, vehicle exhausts, and weather. This pollution poses significant risks to ocular health, particularly for vulnerable children and the elderly, causing irritation, inflammation, and potential vision impairment. Preventive measures are crucial to protect eyes during this period.
