How to get rid of dry eyes?

Dry eyes are a common problem in daily life and can occur due to different causes. Some traditional, non-medicinal suggestions can help relieve dry eyes. Here are some suggestions:

1. Fluid Consumption: Drinking enough water is important for your overall health and can reduce dry eyes.

2. Rest Your Eyes: Especially if you spend a lot of time in front of a screen, rest your eyes at regular intervals. Try looking at a distance of 20 feet (about 6 meters) for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.

3. Moisturize Your Eyes: Artificial tear drops are available without a prescription and can help moisturize your eyes.

4. Environmental Control: You can prevent the air from becoming too dry by using humidifiers in your home.

5. Sunglasses: You can use quality sunglasses to protect yourself from wind and sunlight.

6. Diet: Healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for eye health. You may want to consider consuming foods rich in these fats.

I need a few additional questions for the history:

1. How long has dry eyes been going on?
2. Are there any other complaints in the eyes (pain, redness, blurred vision, etc.)?
3. Are you taking any medications?
4. Do you smoke?
5. How long do you spend looking at screens such as computers or phones?

One or more of these suggestions may help relieve your dry eyes. However, it is important to see a specialist if your symptoms persist or worsen.
