You can take the following steps to reduce symptoms of dry eyes:

1) Remember to blink regularly when reading or staring at a computer screen for long periods of time.

2) Increase the humidity in the air at work and at home.

3) Wear sunglasses outdoors, particularly those with wraparound frames, to reduce exposure to drying winds and the sun.
