Dry eyes – what to do?

Dry eyes are a very common feeling. Sometimes you notice a slight sting in the morning, sometimes in the middle of the workday, and sometimes in the evening when fatigue sets in and screen time starts to take its toll. It’s not dangerous, but it can make your day uncomfortable. Luckily, there are many simple steps that help ease the dryness.

If you wear contact lenses, the dryness may feel even stronger at times. This doesn’t mean you need to stop wearing lenses. It’s more about understanding what irritates your eyes and taking small steps that bring more moisture and comfort.

Below you’ll find a clear overview of how to reduce dry eyes. I’ll also introduce Avizor Comfort Drops 15 ml and share tips on how to use them in your daily routine.

1. Understand why dryness happens

Start by noticing what affects your eyes during the day. Dryness can develop because of:

• long hours in front of screens

• blinking less often

• dry air at home or in the office

• windy weather

• airflow from cars or public transport

• wearing contact lenses for long periods

None of these mean you should stop using lenses. Instead, make a small plan to manage these factors a bit better.

2. Moisturise your eyes regularly

Hydrating drops are a quick and simple help. Avizor Comfort Drops 15 ml work well for everyday use. They bring gentle relief and are suitable for contact lens users.

How to use them:

• Apply a drop in the morning before heading out.

• Carry the bottle with you — keep it in your bag or pocket.

• Use the drops several times during the day if your eyes start to feel dry.

• Add a drop in the evening when your eyes feel tired.

Don’t wait until the dryness becomes strong. Make hydration a natural part of your routine.

3. Reduce screen time as much as you can

Screens — phones, laptops, TVs — make you blink less often. Try taking regular breaks throughout the day.

Use the simple rule:
Every 20 minutes, look into the distance for at least 20 seconds.

This gives your eyes a short rest and helps restore your tear film.

If you’re at the office, look out the window. If you’re at home, look across the room. Anything that shifts your gaze away from close-up focus helps.

4. Keep the air in your room moist

If the air is dry, it pulls moisture from your eyes. Try adding a small humidifier to your room or use simple alternatives:

• place a bowl of water near the radiator

• keep indoor plants that release moisture

• air out the room from time to time

If you’re in an office where you can’t change the environment, use drops more often and drink enough water during the day.

5. Drink water throughout the day

Water isn’t just important for your body — your eyes need it too. If you drink too little, dryness can increase.

Keep a small bottle on your desk and refill it a few times a day. Turn drinking water into a routine — even a quick stretch helps your neck and shoulders rest too.

6. Clean your contact lenses properly

Dryness can appear when tiny particles or dirt collect on the surface of your lenses. Clean them every evening and use suitable care solution. This keeps your vision clear and makes wearing them more comfortable.

If you use daily lenses, throw them away every evening and put in a fresh pair in the morning. It’s a great way to keep your eyes clean.

7. Give your eyes a break from lenses

Sometimes a short break helps.
If the day has been long, take your lenses out in the evening and let your eyes rest. A small break doesn’t make things harder — it actually makes the next day feel fresher.

8. Breathe through your nose

Breathing through your mouth can dry out your eyes faster. This often happens during workouts, in cold weather, or while walking quickly.

Try to breathe through your nose more consciously. It’s a small change that can make a big difference.

9. Choose the right contact lenses

If dryness happens every day, switch to a different type of lens. Some options suit sensitive eyes better.

Pay attention to how your eyes respond. If a new pair feels lighter and stays moist until the evening, keep using that type.

10. Avoid air blowing directly into your eyes

Car vents, office air conditioning or strong wind can disturb your tear film. Redirect the airflow away from your face. When outside, wear sunglasses — they add protection and help keep moisture in.

11. Build a simple routine

A routine helps prevent dryness. Try this easy system:

Morning:
Put your lenses in, blink a few deep times, add drops if needed.

Day:
Take short screen breaks, drink water, keep your drops nearby.

Evening:
Remove your lenses, clean them or take a new pair. Add a couple of drops to let your eyes rest.

This forms a pleasant habit that keeps your vision clear and your day more comfortable.

12. Add a gentle eyelid massage

A light massage can help, especially if dryness appears at the end of the day.

• Close your eyes

• Use your fingertips to make soft circles near your eyelids

• Make a few slow movements and relax for a moment

It doesn’t take long but can bring noticeable relief.

13. Get enough sleep

Sleep restores your eyes’ moisture balance. If you go to bed too late, dryness may be stronger the next day.

Create a relaxing evening routine and avoid screens for at least half an hour before bedtime.

14. Allow yourself to experiment

Eyes are sensitive, and caring for them is important. Try different tips and notice what works best for you. Some benefit from frequent blinking, others from regular hydration, and some from taking short breaks from lenses.

Dryness doesn’t have to make wearing contact lenses uncomfortable. Make small changes and notice how your eyes gradually become calmer.

Dry eyes are common, but there are many ways to ease them. Moisturise your eyes regularly, take breaks from screens, drink water, clean your contact lenses properly and keep the air around you moist.
Avizor Comfort Drops 15 ml is a great companion at work, at home or during exercise.

Take small steps and create a friendly daily rhythm for your eyes. This keeps your vision clear and helps your contact lenses give you a comfortable, easy day.
