Low humidity and indoor heating during winter speed up tear evaporation from the eye surface, which can lead to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and dry eye syndrome.
Key Symptoms:
- Burning, stinging, or grittiness in the eyes.
- Fluctuating blurry vision that improves after blinking.
- Excessive watering of the eyes (a reflex response to dryness).
An eye specialist can evaluate your tear film and advise lubricating drops or other suitable treatment.
