Blinking more often while using your computer will help moisten your eyes to prevent dryness and irritation. Tears coating the eye evaporate more rapidly during long non-blinking phases which can cause dry eye. Using artificial tears can help relieve you of that discomfort. However, do not confuse artificial tears with lubricating eye drops. To decide on the best treatment option for your eyes, speak with your optometrist.
If you're suffering from dry eyes because you're staring at your computer screen all day long, you may also benefit from having your glasses prescription modified. Contact Vision Pro to give your eyes the relief they deserve.
