Dry eyes - that irritating sensation when all you want to do is rub and scratch because your eyes are just so sore! The truth is, if you're careful about your eye care, it need not get to the point of utter frustration!
But just a few simple changes will make the world of difference to you, your health and to your eyesight. Here we give you some top tips for preventing dry eyes.
Firstly, your diet: omega-3 fatty acids have been proven to lower ones risk of dry eyes. If you find that you're not getting enough in your diet, then try to take dietary supplements.
If you are planning to spend any extended amount of time in front of your computer, reading, driving, or watching television, then you should take preventative measures and use eye drops before, and again after every half an hour. If you choose not to use eye drops, then at least ensure to give your eyes a rest and focus them on something else for at least five minutes every half hour. Very important is also to remember to blink and not rely on subconscious blinking but rather you should consciously force yourself to blink a lot in order to distribute your tears evenly across your eyes.
Those heavy dry eye sufferers should make a conscious effort to NOT rub their eyes. Yes - we know that they're itchy and sore but rubbing removes moisture and will make the problem worse.
A top tip is to stay away from smoke and other forms of air pollution. These affect the eyes and dry them up. The same applies to hair dryers, car heaters, air conditioners, and electric fans when you direct them into your eyes, so watch out! Should you need to use heaters, air conditioners and so on, you should try to add moisture to the air by putting a bowl of water in front of the device, or you can install a humidifier.
