HOW TO PREVENT DRY EYES
Here are some tips on how you can prevent dry eyes:
π Take a break every 10 minutes from reading, watching TV, or using electronic devices.
π Blink often to lubricate your eyes.
π Protect your eyes in windy areas by wearing wraparound sunglasses.
π Avoid cigarette smoke, which can irritate eyes and worsen dry eye.
If your dry eyes persist, consult an ophthalmologist.
A PUBLIC ADVISORY FROM THE PHILIPPINE ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY: Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices that are being peddled as a cure-all or prevention of the different eye conditions. Consult your ophthalmologist for the proper care of your eyes.
