Are you suffering from dry eyes during the cold winter weather? Here a few tips below to help!

- Use artifical tears, this helps soothe your irritated eyes.

- Stay hydrated! Keeping your body moisturized helps keep your eyes moisturized!

- Use a warm compress over closed eyes. This helps to stimulate oil production in the eyes, improving tear quality.
