TOP TIPS for DRY EYE
There are two main forms of Dry Eyes:
1. Evaporative Dry Eyes: this is usually caused by poor functioning or a blockage of the meibomian glands.
2. Aqueous insufficiency: This is due to the low tear quality, caused by a lacrimal gland malfunction, where the tear salts and proteins become highly concentrated, irritating the eye and causing inflammation.
TIPS
1. Use a Humidifier.
2. Omega 3 fatty acids 3000IU- 4000IU per day.
3. Use a warm compress twice daily
4. Reduce screen time
5. Increase blinking
