maintain moisture in the eyes. Staying hydrated, wearing sunglasses to reduce tear evaporation, and maintaining eyelid hygiene are other simple yet powerful habits.
We also encourage patients to follow the “202020” rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This allows your eyes to reset and reduces strain.
Dispelling Common Myths
Like many medical conditions, Dry Eye Disease is surrounded by myths. A common misconception is that it only affects older adults, but screen-heavy lifestyles have made it increasingly common in younger people. Another is that watery eyes mean the eyes are too moist, when they may be dry and overcompensating. Not all eye drops are created equal, and using the wrong ones without guidance can make symptoms worse. Most importantly, dry eye is not something to ignore or live with, it is a real condition that deserves proper care.
