9 Tips For Keeping Your Eyes Healthy And Fighting Chronic Dry Eyes

Avoid Cooling The Upper Body

The cold air coming from air conditioners can take a toll on the organs in the upper part of the body, including the eyes. Cool air from an air-conditioning system is arid and removes moisture from the eyes. Dry eye occurs when there is a lack of lubrication on the surface of the eyes and puts them at a greater risk of infection. Air conditioning in offices, planes and at home should be adjusted to blow air towards the feet, instead of the face. Dry eyes should be avoided as they are predisposed to many other diseases. Red eyes, a foreign sensation in the eyes, burning, itching and blurred vision are all signs of dry eyes. In case the conditioning cannot be changed there are prescription medications which can treat dry eyes and protect their surface from the complications arising from dry eyes.
