Practical Tips

• Wearing contact lenses worsen the symptoms. Discuss your options with your Optometrist

• Wear sunglasses when you go outside (ideally wrap around)

• Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water

• Blink regularly, particularly when you are looking at a screen or reading

• When working at a computer, lower the screen so your gaze is downwards

• Increase the humidity in your workplace or home by turning down the air conditioning

• Turn air vents away from your face

• Take Omega-3 supplements – our Optometrist can recommend a specific dry eye supplement
