Prevent Dry Eye Syndrome During Winter’s Dryness!

BGN Мэндээлэлч

2024.12.20

Many people experience worsening symptoms of dry eyes due to the dry winter air.

The combination of low humidity and indoor heating can significantly aggravate dry eye symptoms.

To relieve discomfort, consistent care and lifestyle adjustments are essential.

Let’s take a look at some daily habits that can help prevent dry eyes:



1. Use of Artificial Tears

Types and Usage Tips:

Preservative-free artificial tears: Safe for frequent daily use and suitable for chronic dryness.

Eye drops: Liquid form that provides immediate hydration to the eye surface.

Gel type: Stays longer on the eyes and is ideal for nighttime use. Tip: Wash hands before use, and gently close eyes for 1–2 minutes after applying to help distribute the solution evenly.


2. Manage Indoor Humidity

Humidifier: Keeps air moist and counteracts the drying effect of heating.

Optimal humidity level: Maintain 40–60%.

Change humidifier water daily to prevent bacterial growth. Alternative:

Place a damp towel or water bowl near the heater to add moisture to the air.


3. Warm Compresses

Method: Soak a clean towel in warm water, wring it out, and place it over your eyelids for 5–10 minutes.

Gently massage the eyelid margins afterward to stimulate oil glands and stabilize the tear film.

Frequency: Once or twice a day, especially in the morning or before bed.


4. Improve Blinking Habits

20-20-20 Rule for Screen Use: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Blink more consciously: Helps spread tears evenly and reduce dryness.

Adjust screen position slightly below eye level to minimize eye exposure and dryness.


5. Nutritional Support

Omega-3 fatty acids: Improve tear quality and prevent evaporation.

Found in salmon, mackerel, flaxseed, walnuts, etc.

Vitamins A and E: Promote healthy eye mucous membranes.

Found in carrots, spinach, avocados, sunflower seeds, etc.

Hydration: Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to maintain fluid balance.


6. Environmental Protection

Protective eyewear: Wear glasses or sunglasses to block wind and dust.

Adjust airflow: Direct air from heaters or AC away from your face.

Try to limit outdoor activities on windy days.


7. Eyelid Hygiene

Method: Gently wipe eyelid margins with a cotton swab soaked in warm water.

Thoroughly remove eye makeup to prevent inflammation or blockage.

Effect: Helps reduce inflammation and improve tear film stability.


8. Professional Treatment

Dry eye evaluation: Visit an eye clinic for a proper diagnosis if symptoms are severe.

You may be prescribed anti-inflammatory drops or medicated artificial tears.

For contact lens users: Switch to moisturizing lenses or reduce wearing time.

Punctal plugs: A procedure to block tear drainage and retain natural tears.


9. Things to Avoid

Smoking and secondhand smoke: Irritate the eyes and worsen symptoms.

Caffeine and alcohol: Can dehydrate the body and exacerbate dry eyes—consume in moderation.
