Relieving dry eyes
When this protective film is compromised, the eyes become dry, irritated, and vulnerable to infections. Several factors can contribute to this, including age, environment (smoke, dry or dusty air), prolonged work on computer screens, wearing contact lenses, and certain medications (antihistamines, neuroleptics, antihypertensives, diuretics, birth control pills, certain painkillers).
Pharmacity offers practical advice and solutions to relieve the unpleasant symptoms associated with dry eyes:
Eye hydration: opt for artificial tears specially designed to rehydrate the surface of your eyes and relieve itching and irritation. Thus, Hyaluronic Acid with its high moisturizing power is the ideal option for effective hydration. Threlose will also be useful in preventing the evaporation of the tear film. These artificial tears are to be used as needed several times a day.
Take visual breaks: if you work long hours on a computer or phone screen, take regular breaks to rest your eyes.
Maintain adequate bodily hydration: drink enough water throughout the day to maintain optimal hydration, which is essential for preserving the moisture of your eyes.
Create a suitable environment: avoid dry and dusty environments as much as possible. Using a humidifier in your home can help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Protect your eyes: wear sunglasses in sunny and windy weather to protect your eyes from irritating elements such as wind and UV rays.
Do not ignore the signals your eyes are sending you. Take care of your eye health and consult your pharmacist if needed. For more severe and refractory cases, do not hesitate to consult your ophthalmologist (there are prescription medications available).
