The Real Reason Your Eyes Are Dry – And How to Fix It! Dr. Mandell

Dry eyes can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition, but fortunately, there are various ways to manage and alleviate its symptoms. Ensuring proper hydration by drinking plenty of water is essential, as it helps maintain tear production. Incorporating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish like salmon and supplements such as fish oil, can also support eye health by reducing inflammation and promoting tear secretion. Practicing good eye hygiene, like washing your eyelids gently with warm water and a mild cleanser, can remove any potential irritants. Using over-the-counter artificial tears or lubricating eye drops provides immediate relief by keeping the eyes moist. For those who spend a lot of time on screens, following the 20-20-20 rule—taking a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes—can help reduce eye strain and dryness. Additionally, running a humidifier in your living spaces can add moisture to the air, preventing your eyes from drying out. Wearing protective eyewear, like sunglasses, especially on windy or sunny days, shields your eyes from harsh elements. Lastly, trying natural supplements like sea buckthorn oil, which is rich in omega-7 fatty acids, might offer further relief. If symptoms persist, it’s always a good idea to consult with an eye care professional for further evaluation and personalized treatment options.
