Have symptoms of dry eyes, including tired eyes, itchy eyes, or intermittent blurred vision? One of the best things you can do is blink. Photo: istock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If eyes are the windows to the soul, then it makes sense to give them as much care as the rest of your body.<\/p>\n

\u201cEyes are like any other organ \u2013 they need care and attention,\u201d said Dr. Nathan Hamburger,<\/a> an ophthalmologist in Steamboat Springs and a member of the medical staff at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of dry eyes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Symptoms of dry eyes include eyes feeling tired, itchy eyes, intermittent blurry vision or vision that might change when you blink.<\/p>\n

Winter conditions can make things worse because of the drop in moisture in the outside air and the decrease in moisture inside because of the heat. Add in the sun\u2019s reflection on snow, along with strong winds during colder months, and it can lead to a host of eye problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do see a lot of dry eyes in the state, and especially up here in the mountains,\u201d said Hamburger.<\/p>\n

Disease prevention and protecting your eyes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first line of defense to protecting your eyes includes wearing sunglasses, a hat or visor, goggles when skiing, and protective glasses when working with heavy machinery or tools.<\/p>\n

Hamburger also recommends staying hydrated with lots of water throughout the day, especially if you\u2019re physically active. Water helps produce tears, which are the eye\u2019s go-to protectant.<\/p>\n

\u201cTears keep your eyes moist and functioning properly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also favors taking frequent computer breaks, as you don\u2019t tend to blink as much when you are using a screen. Blinking helps refresh your eyes with nutrient-rich tears and flushes away any dirt and debris.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell my patients who sit in front of their computer for long stretches to take a break every 15 minutes or so by closing their eyes for about 10 seconds \u2013 it can really help,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Treatment for dry eyes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If dry eyes persist, Hamburger says it is fine to occasionally use lubricating or \u201cartificial tear\u201d eye drops. But there is an important caveat in the wake of a deadly bacteria causing infection, blindness and even death among some users in the United States that have been linked to recalled eye drops imported from other countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake sure it is a mainstream and name-brand eye drop bought from a reputable store or seller,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hamburger tells people to avoid eye whitening drops or any product claiming to \u201cget the red out,\u201d as these can actually harm your eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t treat what\u2019s really going on and merely constrict the blood vessels that make the eye red, so that they just appear whiter,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there could be something serious going on that the drops are masking.\u201d<\/p>\n

For some, dry eyes are not an occasional nuisance but a chronic condition. For instance, the older we get, the more likely we are to suffer from dry eyes. If over-the-counter drops are not working, he suggests consulting with a medical professional, as a prescription-strength eye drop might be necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime you have significant pain, a decrease in vision or prolonged dry eyes that you can\u2019t get relief for, you should get help,\u201d said Hamburger.<\/p>\n

Overall, the best way to keep your eyes healthy is to keep the rest of your body healthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cExercising, eating right and taking care of your brain and heart \u2013 all that will contribute to keeping your eyes in good shape as well,\u201d said Hamburger.<\/p>\n
