Dry Eyes

Do your eyes feel extra dry lately? Join the club...

Dry winter air can take a toll on our tear ducts – and for those of us who work on a computer – our eyes can dry up even faster. There are a few things you can do that really help:



• Blink – a lot of us just don’t do it enough – especially while on the computer, watching TV or driving.

• Humidity – running a humidifier when the heat is on will help.

• Flaxseed – the fats in there help replenish the natural oils in our tears.

• Warmth – you can increase circulation and unclog tear ducts by holding a warm compress over your closed eyes for about 10 minutes.
