There's much more than just eye drops in this list.
Dry eyes and I are formidable foes that are unfortunately very well acquainted, especially in the harsh conditions of winter. My days are spent fretting over the appearance of my incredibly red and bloodshot eyes and the burning, sticky, gritty feeling of my contact lenses adhering to my cornea.
Other dry eye sufferers are well aware that the standard application of eye drops just doesn’t cut it for most of us. In lamenting my symptoms to New Jersey-based board-certified ophthalmologist (and founder of the eye-safe beauty brand Twenty/Twenty), Dr. Diane Hilal-Campo, I learned that true dry eye relief occurs with more than a few applications of artificial tears, and that not all formulas are created equal.
“The wintertime is the worst time for dry eyes,” Hilal-Campo said, citing the evaporating effect that dry indoor heat, as well as cold outdoor wind, has on natural tears.
“Over-the-counter products can be extremely helpful for dry eyes,” she assures us, including mainstays like artificial tears for replacing and hydrating aqueous to the eyes.
But Hilal-Campo says that if you really want to tackle dry winter eyes full force, there are other easily accessible market options and tips that you may not have thought of. Keep reading to see the exact eye brands, formulas and other products that Hilal-Campo said will make a difference in your unbearable dry winter eyes.
