Nautapa 2026: Every year there comes a time in summer when the sun’s heat becomes the most intense. This time is called “Nautapa”. Nautapa means severe heat for 9 consecutive days. This year, the effect of Nautapa is going to last from 25th May to 2nd June. During these days the temperature rises considerably, hot winds blow and it becomes difficult to go out in the afternoon.
Meteorologists also advise people to be more careful during this period. In such a situation, many people buy glasses from the roadside to protect their eyes from the heat, due to which their eyes have to bear the brunt.
Why are cheap glasses dangerous for eyes?
As the heat increases, people buy cheap goggles for Rs 100 or 150 available on the roadside to protect themselves from the sun. These glasses look stylish, but can harm the eyes. Such glasses do not have proper UV protection, due to which the harmful rays of the sun reach the eyes directly. This can cause problems like burning sensation in the eyes, watering, headache and blurred vision.

Take care of your eyes like this during Nautapa
Doctors say that only good quality sunglasses should be worn during Nautapa. While buying glasses, make sure that they have UV protection. Apart from this, it is also beneficial to use an umbrella, hat or towel while going out in strong sunlight. Try to go out less between 12 noon and 4 pm because the sun is most dangerous at this time.
A small carelessness can prove costly
During the days of Nautapa, it is very important to take care of the eyes as well as the body. Wearing cheap glasses just for fashion can cause problems in future. In this summer season, drink plenty of water, wash your eyes frequently with cold water and if there is excessive irritation in the eyes, consult a doctor.
