Dry Eye Prevention

Marietta Eye Clinic - Dry Eye Clinic

What Can You Do To Prevent Dry Eye?

It is not always possible to prevent dry eye; however, you may be able to identify certain triggers that irritate your condition.

Treatment for dry eye can be customized after a consult with one of Marietta Eye Clinic’s doctors who specialize in dry eye. We offer many treatment options to provide relief from dry eye.

Try these tips to minimize the effects of dry eye:

  • Allergy testing: Our Atlanta dry eye specialists can test you for certain allergens that may aggravate your dry eyes.
  • Vitamins: Nutraceuticals may help prevent dry eye.
  • Humidifiers: Add moisture to your home or office air.
  • Eye breaks: If you work for long periods on a computer or other visual tasks, try incorporating the 20/20/20 routine. Every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break and look at something 20 feet away.
  • Remember to blink often.
  • Sunglasses: Wear wrap-around sunglasses when outdoors to block wind and foreign debris from getting into your eyes.
  • Stop smoking: Avoid direct or secondhand smoke.
  • Wind and fans: Avoid air positioned directly at your eyes from wind, fans or hair dryers.
  • Artificial tears: These over-the-counter products may provide temporary relief.
