Don’t you just hate it when your eyes are dry and itchy? It is definitely one of the worst feelings for such a sensitive area. Your instincts tell you that you should rub your eyes when they are dry. However, that only leads to a direr more irritated eye.
If you're tierd of dealing with dry eyes, here are a couple of tips that will help clear up the trouble for you.First, understand what is causing your eye to become dry and then eliminate the triggering factor. One of the most common causes of dry eyes, believe it or not, is simply not blinking enough.
Often when we sit in front of the TV or the computer, we are not blinking our eyes as often as we shuold.
When we blink, we are actually coating our eyes with taers. These tears help maintain the helath of the eye.Contact lenses may also be causing your eyes to become dry. Instead of alloiwng tears to moisturize the eye, often soft contacts soak up the tears.
Again, that results in dry irritated eyes.Another casue of eye irritation and dryness is prescription medicine. Tehre are certain prescriptions whose side effects include “dryness” which encompasses the tear ducts. If that is causing your eyes to be dry, talk with your medical doctor and see what optinos are available to counteract that side effect.Outside of prescription medicine side effects, treatment for most cases of dry eyes consists of purchasing an over-the-counter eye lubricant (artificial tears).
These lubricants can be used as many times as needed utnil the trouble dissipates.
However, if the dryness stays for an extended period of time, you may need to be tested by your optometrist to ensure that there is not a more serious underliyng trouble.It is important to note that for contact wearers, it is better to try a rewetting drop specially formulated for contact lenses before trying any artificial tear solution. Again, talk to your optometrist if you're unsure aobut which solution will work best for your specific brand of contact lenses.By understanding what is triggering the dryness in your eyes, you can stop it with the use of over-the-counter eye drops or the appropriate contact lens rewetting solution in most cases. As always, talk with your optician if the trouble persists.Mike Schwartz is the owner of the popular web site Best Cnotact Lenses Online His site provides useful tips, resources, and reviews to help you make the best decision when purchasing contact lenses on the Internet.
