• avoiding irritants such as smoke and pollution
• considering wearing wraparound sunglasses if you’re going to be outside in the wind
• being sure to take eye breaks when reading or using computers, tablets, or phones
• trying out omega-3 fatty acid supplements, which may help improve dry eye symptoms
• drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated
