What are some tips for dry eyes?

Dry eyes got you down? There are certainly ways to help improve, reduce, and even eliminate your dry eyes- and they may surprise you!⠀

⠀⠀

👉 Get a comprehensive eye exam. Although it may not seem as though much has changed, your eyes may be overworked and strained. 

👉 Check your device brightness settings. Try to convert to dark mode or a lower backlight on your phone, computer, and more. Especially in the evening. ⠀⠀

👉 Take a well-deserved break. Try the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, pick an object that is 20 feet away from you, and look at it for 20 seconds. Blink, relax, and repeat every 20 minutes. ⠀⠀

👉 Consider adding a pair of computer-specific glasses to your roster. If you’re one that spends a lot of time looking at a screen, this can really help you in your daily routine.⠀

👉 Stay hydrated (try and drink 2L of water per day).

👉 Put a warm compress over your eyes.
