1 Avoid exposing the eyes to air directly, e.g. a car heater, hair driers, and air conditioners.

2 Wear glasses while going out in the sun or while riding and goggles during swimming.

3 Keep the home environs humid, between 30 and 50 percent. During winter a humidifier may be used to add moisture to dry indoor air. Additional humidity can be created by wearing special glasses that form a moisture chamber around the eye.

4 Try to blink frequently which will help spread the tears more frequently.

5 Try avoiding rubbing the eyes.

6 Prophylactic use of eye drops before rather than after,when performing activities which are visually demanding

7 Use artificial tears as eye drops or ointments. Though ointments last longer, they can become messy because of their viscous nature leading to blurred vision.

8 Avoid smoking.
