Prevention of dry eye syndrome
Keep the eyes clean – people with clean eyes are less likely to develop blepharitis. Use warm/hot (not boiling) water, dab some cotton wool into it, and gently clean your eyes. Massage your eye gently with a clean finger in a circular motion – this will help move the mucus from the eyelid glands.
Wind – wear wraparound glasses for protection from wind and hot air, which can cause dry eyes.
Computer monitor – the monitor should be just below eye level.
Avoid smoky places – if you smoke, give up. If you don’t, avoid places where people smoke.
Humidifier – a humidifier in the home will help moisten the air, which will help reduce the risk of dry eyes. Some people say that spraying curtains with a fine spray of water also helps keep the air humid.
Nutrition - evidence is starting to appear indicating that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent dry eye syndrome. Sources of omega-3 fats include salmon, trout, tuna, herring and sardines. If you are vegetarian/vegan, the following foods are rich in omega-3 fatty acids: canola oil, English walnuts, flax oil, ground flax seed, hemp oil, hemp seed, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, and soybeans.
