How to avoid eye irritation
Oklahomans young and old risk constant eye irritation and strain these days because of allergies, increased time spent in front of a computer and television, e-mails, and a dependence on text messaging. But the California-based Feinerman Vision Center offers these tips on how to avoid eye irritation and advice for dealing with some of the most common causes of red, dry, irritated eyes:
— Get more sleep: Lack of sleep is considered the most common cause of red eye. Even an extra hour or two per night can help keep redness at bay.
— Use drops to keep eyes lubricated and comfortable.
— Know when to pull the plug: Know how much time in front of a computer is too much. Force yourself to disconnect to avoid strained eyes.
— Know when to way “When.” College students and adults should avoid staying out too late on weeknights. “Partying and red eyes usually go hand-in-hand,” according to Dr. Gregg Feinerman. “Know when to call it a night and go home.”
