Modern everyday life means stress for the eyes. Exhaust fumes and fine dust in big cities, cigarette smoke, dry air from heating and air-conditioning, and not to forget the constant staring at screens - whether at home or in the office - can take their toll on sensitive eyes. These tips can help you prevent your eyes from drying out under all this strain.
A healthy diet, enough sleep and a daily fluid intake of at least two litres of water are the basis for healthy eyes. Furthermore, you should not lose sight of what your eyes need: regular breaks from working at the computer, fresh oxygen from airing the room, or walks and relaxation exercises quickly revive strained eyes. Also avoid the typical causes of dry eyes: central heating, air conditioning, cigarette smoke, draughts and fine dust. Contact lens wearers can protect their eyes with regular glasses-wearing days. However, if your eyes itch or burn nevertheless, moisturising eye drops can relieve the symptoms by strengthening the tear film and protecting the surface of the eye.
