While steam can help reduce the severity of the symptoms of dry eyes, it is always recommended to use a facial steamer. Another option is to use steam goggles, which is a treatment offered by optometrists. These goggles help with the release of the oil film from  our tear glands, which in turn keeps our eyes lubricated and well maintained. Steam has also been known to reduce inflammation caused by allergies, sinusitis, and fluid retention. This provides significant relief and helps your eyes feel better and function to the best of their abilities.
