Every July 29, we observe World ORS Day to highlight the lifesaving role of Oral Rehydration Salts in managing dehydration. But dehydration doesn’t only impact your gut—it has a direct effect on your eye health.
Dry eyes, blurred vision, and ocular discomfort can all result from low hydration levels. Dr. Saurabh Deshmukh and Dr. Krati Gupta—two of the best eye specialists in Bhopal—explain why staying hydrated matters for your eyes.
