Q: If glaucoma runs in my family, should I be worried?

A: A family history of glaucoma increases your risk of developing the condition. It's important to have regular comprehensive eye exams, as early detection and treatment can prevent significant vision loss. Discuss your family history with your ophthalmologist to determine an appropriate screening schedule.

Q: Why do my eyes feel dry when I stay in air-conditioned rooms?

A: Air conditioners lower indoor humidity, which can accelerate tear evaporation, leading to dry, irritated eyes. Combat this by using a humidifier, staying hydrated, and applying lubricating eye drops. Take regular breaks from screen time to reduce eye strain as well.
