DRY EYES

To manage dry eyes, consider using artificial tears/specific dry-eye drops recommended to you by your local optometrist or pharmacist (preservative-free if using them frequently) to bring instant relief... or

Try a heat mask. This helps dry eyes by stimulating the oil glands in the eyelids, improving oil production and reducing tear evaporation ultimately leading to better tear film stability and relief from dryness...

And a warm compress can help eyes by providing moisture and heat which can soothe dry eyes, unclog oil glands, and relieve pain and swelling associated with conditions like blepharitis or styes...

Here are 6 tips for looking after your eye health.

1. Have regular eye tests -
You should have a regular eye test (at least every two years) even if you don’t wear glasses.
More than 50% of sight loss is preventable, so regular testing can prevent or limit the damage caused by certain eye conditions. For example, early detection of glaucoma which can reduce the risk of irreversible vision loss. It can also reveal early symptoms of diabetes, brain tumours, heart disease, high blood pressure, MS, and other conditions.

2. Don't smoke -
Smoking is harmful to your eye health and can increase the risk of sight loss.
As a smoker you are twice as likely to lose sight as a non-smoker. Smoking can cause and worsen several eye conditions, some leading to permanent vision loss. For example, smoking increases the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy.

3. Look after your general health -
Good general health is also good for eye health.
An estimated 6.4 million people in the UK are at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes carry a risk of Diabetic Retinopathy. Yet, research has consistently shown that combined lifestyle improvements such as a good healthy diet (including omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and vitamins C & E, green leafy vegetables and oily fish) along with physical activity and sustained weight loss, can effectively help in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes by about 50% for some people.

4. Keep fit -
According to research, people who take part in moderate physical exercise are up to 25% less likely to develop glaucoma than people who don’t do much physical activity.
Being active and keeping to a healthy weight and blood pressure can reduce your chances of developing other conditions affecting your eyesight, such as diabetes.

5. Wear protective goggles -
Wear safety glasses or protective goggles to protect your eyes from injury if you do DIY, gardening, skiing, snorkelling, play squash, or when setting off fireworks.
Ocular trauma is a significant cause of visual impairment worldwide. An estimated 19 million people worldwide have blindness in one eye from a traumatic injury. If you experience an eye injury, such as a foreign body, seek help immediately by visiting your local hospital casualty department or local Optometrist.

6. Wear sunglasses -
Protect your eyes when it’s sunny or in high glare areas like near snow or water.
Look for the CE mark which indicates that sunglasses provide a safe level of protection from the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays and choose ones that sit closer to the eye.
A wide-brimmed hat is helpful too, and never look directly at the sun.

At this time of year colds and flu viruses tend to be their worst. The sneezing and coughing that accompany these viruses can also affect your eyes. You may experience any of theses symptoms... dryness, swelling, puffiness, gritty or itchy red eyes sometimes accompanied by blurriness. Sinus infections can also lead to increased production of mucus which can sometimes cause eye irritation, leading to watery or sticky eyes.

For any Winter related eye problems, contact your local Optometrist or Pharmacist. They will give you the best advice and may offer topical eye drops to help alleviate symptoms.
