Dry Eye Treatments: Symptom Prevention

There are a series of general measures such as avoiding exposure to the wind (using closed glasses, helmet protector if riding a motorcycle, among others), direct exposure to air conditioning, dry or highly polluted environments (kitchens, smoke-filled premises, pollution, … ), excessively chlorinated swimming pools, tobacco smoke, among others. In addition, you must remember that the use of intermediate vision (painting pictures, the use of monitors, …) and near vision (reading, sewing, …) cause a larger eyelid opening and decreased blinking, so the tear evaporates easily. You should rest periodically (it depends on each case), apply lubricating drops and rest looking for a few minutes into the distance. (Source: Innova Ocular - ICO Barcelona).
