The harsh winds outside and dry heat inside can make your eyes feel uncomfortable all day— all season long!

Fortunately, there are ways to add moisture to your environment and protect your eyes this winter:

1. Drink plenty of fluids

2. Use a cool mist humidifier

3. Use eye drops and warm compresses

4. Wear glasses or sunglasses to protect your eyes from strong winds

Practicing these tips can help reduce dry eye symptoms— but the best way to beat moderate to severe dry eye is to consult with your eye doctor for an effective treatment plan.

From eye drops, ointments and gels, to specialized in-office procedures, there are a variety of treatments available to help you get the relief you need to feel like yourself again!
