No need for tears this winter
Are you finding the biting wind and bright sunshine drying out your eyes?
Are your eyes streaming in this cold weather?
These are common symptoms for many clients who attend the dry eye and tear film abnormality clinics at Buchanan Optometrists. To help you out this winter Kathryn Buchanan from Buchanan Optometrists would like to remind you of how you can go out in this cold weather without the tears.
Kathryn’s top tips to help everyone’s eyes this winter.
1) Wear sunglasses to help protect against cold wind and glare. Serengeti sunglasses are great for the winter sun, dawn til dusk. 2) Keep the blowers in the car pointed away from your eyes. 3) Avoid the central heating drying the house out too much by using a humidifier. 4) Eat right. Plenty of omega 3 and 6 (found in fish and nuts) can help keep your tears healthy and oily. 5) Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration causes the tear film to dry up and irritate your eyes.
6) Switch to hypoallergenic makeup. Our range is extra sensitive and free from SLS, Parabens and animal products. Unlike other makeup, it won’t block your delicate in
glands
your eyelids. Waterproof mascara is now available to try and buy at our practice. 7) Beware of over the counter eye drops. Many contain preservatives which further irritate eyes. Furthermore, there are dozens of causes for irritated eyes and without a diagnosis as to what’s causing the problem it is impossible to pick the correct treatment from the hundreds on the market. (In the dry eye clinic we can prescribe you exactly what YOU need).
Even using these tips, you may find that your eyes still suffer. In which case you need our help. Dry eye sufferers regularly feel quite down about their dry eyes at this time of year and how it can affect their daily activities. There have been so many advances in the diagnosis and treatment of dry or watery eyes that in almost all cases Buchanan Optometrists can make a significant improvement.
