Many people are familiar with this problem, especially in autumn and winter: their eyes burn and water, and they feel dry and tired. People who work at a computer screen for long periods or spend a lot of time in heated rooms are particularly affected.
Why do our eyes suffer in winter?
The main cause is dry heated air, which causes tear fluid to evaporate more quickly. People who spend hours concentrating on a monitor or work documents blink less frequently, which means that their eyes are not moistened regularly. Air conditioning, contact lenses, chalk dust and poor lighting can also exacerbate the symptoms.
Dry eyes should not be a reason to struggle through the working day. Small changes in your daily routine and a well-planned workplace ensure that your eyes remain more relaxed – whether in the office or in the classroom. Incidentally, a well-designed environment not only increases well-being, but also performance. And best of all, many measures – exercise in the fresh air, drinking plenty of fluids, taking short breaks – also strengthen the immune system and help reduce stress.
