Hello!
This is Cube Eye 😁 from Gangnam Cube Eye Clinic.
March is just around the corner!
When you think of spring, what comes to mind first?
Forsythias, cherry blossoms, warm breezes, drowsiness…
and of course, yellow dust and fine dust!
Today, let’s talk about yellow dust and fine dust,
which require special attention for eye health.
What Are Yellow Dust and Fine Dust?
You might vaguely think, "Aren't they just yellow sand and tiny invisible dust particles?"
What is Yellow Dust?
A phenomenon where sand and dust from desert regions
(such as China and Mongolia) travel through the air and gradually settle.
What is Fine Dust?
Particles smaller than 10μm (micrometers) in diameter.
If smaller than 2.5μm, they are called PM2.5 or ultrafine dust.
What Are They Made Of?
Why are yellow dust and fine dust considered harmful to our health?
Let’s look at their components.
Yellow Dust Components:
Sand, dust, alkaline substances like limestone, and various harmful materials.
Sulfur, soot, ash, carbon monoxide, heavy metals, carcinogens, viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc.
Fine Dust Components:
Heavy metals, bacteria, and other toxic substances.
Nitrates, sulfates, carbon, soot, minerals, and even human skin flakes (household dust).
How Do They Affect Your Eyes?

Yellow dust and fine dust can enter our bodies through the respiratory system,
causing various health problems.
Our eyes are particularly vulnerable and need extra protection.
That’s why consistent eye care is essential!
How to Protect Your Eyes
On days with high levels of yellow dust or fine dust,
try to stay indoors if possible. If you must go out, follow these tips:
✔ Wear glasses instead of contact lenses when outdoors.
✔ Use artificial tears to cleanse your eyes.
✔ Avoid rubbing your eyes, even if they itch.
✔ Wash your hands frequently to prevent eye infections.
✔ Clean your eyelashes thoroughly after returning home.
✔ Gently massage around your eyes to relieve discomfort.
✔ Ensure proper ventilation indoors to reduce dust buildup.
What to Do If Your Eyes Feel Uncomfortable?
If you experience persistent eye discomfort,
consult an ophthalmologist for professional care.
✔ Visit a nearby eye clinic.
✔ Use preservative-free artificial tears as prescribed.
✔ Avoid eye makeup (especially mascara and eyeliner)
during this season.
✔ Do NOT rinse your eyes with saltwater!
This is a common home remedy but can cause more harm than good.
Take Care of Your Eyes This Spring!
Today, we learned about the impact of
yellow dust and fine dust on our eyes.
What do you think?
At Cube Eye, we practice warm eye compresses
and artificial tear cleansing about three times a week.
Since doing so, we’ve noticed a significant decrease
in dry eye symptoms, conjunctivitis, redness, and styes!
Consistency is key when it comes to eye health. You can do it too!
If you often feel too tired to take care of your eyes
at home, visiting an eye clinic is a great alternative!
Gangnam Cube Eye Clinic is located
on the 6th floor of the Olive Young Building,
right at Exit 3-1 of Gangnam-gu Office Station.
