So why not make 2022 the year that you focus on your eyes? If you do think you have dry eye disease, get yourself some daily, preservative free, eye drops such as Thealoz® Duo. Use them throughout the day to help keep your eyes feeling fresh and hydrated. The small, easy to use bottle makes it the ideal fit for any handbag. You can also use Thealoz® Duo Gel at night to help relieve symptoms even further, it takes less than a minute and you can do it as part of your bedtime self-care routine.

You may also want to start thinking about including eyelid cleansing into your morning routine. If your eyelids are red, sore, crusty, or inflamed, you could have something called blepharitis. Make sure you are warming, cleansing, and massaging the lids to help manage this. Blephaclean® for daily eyelid cleansing is a handy eyelid wipe which is preservative, perfume, and paraben free making them a perfect addition to your make-up removal routine.

If you do suffer from any of the above, make sure you visit your local pharmacist or optometrist for your regular eye test and if you have any concerns. Since the pandemic began more than a third of us haven’t visited our optician or optometrist and some even stated they would prefer to wait for symptoms to disappear.

So, this year, why not do something different, take a little more care and invest in your peepers. You can treat yourself by visiting your local optometrist or pharmacy, shopping online at https://www.youreyehealth.co.uk/shop or by searching ‘Shop Thea Pharma’ on Amazon.
