4 Ways to Relieve Dry Eyes
January 31, 2011Got red, stinging eyes? You may have dry eye. It’s caused by everything from contacts to rosacea, and can lead to impaired vision and eye infection, says Robert Latkany, MD, author of The Dry Eye Remedy. We’ve got four ways to ease the pain.
1. Eat Fish
In a study, women who ate tuna two or more times a week had decreased symptoms. Fish oil supplements also help.
2. Rest Your Eyes at TV Commercials
Blinking produces tears, but when you stare at the screen, you blink less.
4. Get Enough Sleep
As you snooze, the film coating your eyes is replenished. Skimping cheats your eyes of the process.
