Improve your TEARS to hydrate DRY EYES

-

Tears are like skincare for your eyes – without them your peepers will become dry and feel sore. “The tear film (a thin fluid layer that covers the outer surface of the eye) should be quite thick, but those suffering from persistent dryness will find theirs is much thinner than it should be,” explains Nicola. “If you’re a contact lens wearer, have had laser eye surgery or if you’re going through perimenopa­use or the menopause, these things can also cause eyes to become dry.”

The fix: The best way to strengthen the tear film is to consistent­ly use eye drops. Systane Ultra Preservati­ve-free Eye Drops, £11.50 for 30 vials, are optometris­t-approved and one of the most effective for dry eyes, according to experts.
