Dry Eyes Home Remedies
Soothing Relief for Dry Eyes.
Why are my eyes dry?
Ever wondered why your eyes feel dry and scratchy? It could be because your eyes aren’t getting enough moisture or the tears evaporate too quickly. This can happen from things like staring at screens for too long, dry or windy weather, aging, or even certain medications.
When your eyes aren’t properly lubricated, they can feel irritated or uncomfortable. Fortunately, understanding the cause can help you find simple ways to bring relief and keep your eyes feeling fresh again.
If the dryness persists, it’s a good idea to consult your doctor for further advice.
