Tips To Soothe Dry Eye In Winter

 Dry eyes and irritation are more common in the winter due to the drier conditions within the environment.
 With rosacea the combination of dry eyes and the facial symptoms of rosacea often occur together. Keeping the eyes and skin well hydrated will go a long way to correcting the problem.

Hydrate internally by increasing your fluid intake as the body and eyes are over 50% water. Using a home humidifier or other means to raise the humidity at home or work place can be benefical.

Artificial tears are an over the counter options for milder instances of dry eye.

Jojoba oil applied to the skin can also aid in maintaining proper moisture levels.
