TAKING CARE OF YOUR DRY EYES

Dry eyes are a common condition that happens when there is not enough lubrication in your eyes. This may occur due to the body’s production of poor-quality tears or lack of tears, which might lead to inflammation and damage to the eyes.

Symptoms of dry eyes include:

– a stinging or burning sensation in your eyes
– thin mucus in or around your eyes
– high sensitivity to bright lights
– redness and swelling of the eyes and surrounding areas
– difficulty with the wearing of contact lenses and night-time driving
– exceptionally watery eyes
– blurred vision or pronounced eye tiredness

What Causes Dry Eyes

There can be many reasons behind why you are experiencing dry eyes. The most common potential causes include:

Excessive exposure to screen lights

When using computers, smartphones or the likes, your eyes tend to blink less fully and frequently, leading to increased tear evaporation and risk of dry eye symptoms.

Prolonged wearing of masks

Wearing masks for prolonged periods of time can cause dry eye symptoms, as air is continuously being forced out the top of the mask and over the surface of your eyes; dry eyes are even more likely to occur this way if you wear glasses.

Environment

Windy, smoky, or dusty environments can all lead to dry eyes. Air-conditioning and ceiling fans are two other common culprits as they significantly increase indoor humidity and, in turn, tear evaporation.

Consumption of certain medications

Some medicines can increase risk of dry eye symptoms, including but not limited to antihistamines and antidepressants, along with beta-blockers prescribed for high blood pressure and birth control pills.

How to Prevent Dry Eyes

There are several easy ways to decrease the likelihood of getting dry eyes, such as:

– avoiding air blowing into your eyes when using hairdryers, air-conditioners, or fans;
– using humidifiers to moisten dry indoor air;
– periodically taking eye breaks during prolonged eye-intensive tasks;
– frequently closing your eyes to minimize tear evaporation when in unfavorable outdoor environments; and
– positioning your computer screen slightly below eye level such that you won’t have to open your eyes as widely as if you had to look up at said screen, thereby decreasing the rate of tear evaporation when your work encompasses staring at a computer screen.

How to Treat Dry Eyes

Of course, even when taking all the steps outlined above, there will still be times when you find yourself suffering from dry eyes. One quick remedy for this is to use eye drops to treat the symptoms.

But be sure to get something well-suited for yourself. Using unsuitable eye drops may not only be ineffective but can also make things worse and increase your discomfort.

In this regard, Sato Pharmaceutical recommends using eye drops that utilize tear-type solutions. Dorama Neo Sterile Eye Drops has been reviewed to work wonders in this regard.

With its solution containing the same components as actual tears, the Dorama Neo Eye Drops works gently without irritating the eye. This Japanese cooling eye drop works best in removing dirt, dust, and contaminants in the air that may have gotten into your eyes, while giving your eyes the lubrication they need to operate optimally and comfortably.
