Parang mapuwing ba ang Mata? Dry Eyes i gotchu!

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.

Eye care this summer! 👍

Q: Can swimming pools cause eye infections?

A: Yes. Chlorine and other chemicals used to disinfect pools can disrupt your eye’s protective tear film, increasing your risk of irritation and infection. Avoid swimming with contact lenses, wear swim goggles, and rinse your eyes with clean water or artificial tears after swimming.
