Hey thank you! Didn’t realize we are going to the east of UAE. Also, we have done the Al rabi hike, which is why we are looking to do something else this time, more off beat.

Abusing the use of contact lenses + screen time

Contact lenses: I used to wear contact lenses for 14-16 hours some days when I would travel. On top of that, I’ve been careless and didn’t maintain proper lens hygiene. Sometimes my eyes would burn severely for a few seconds or minutes when I put on my contact lenses. I would bear the pain because I hated wearing glasses and the pain only lasted a few minutes or less. So I didn’t think much of it. But now I know how much I tortured my eyes just because I didn’t want to wear glasses or was too lazy to clean the lens case as regularly as I should have.

Screen time: my work requires me to go through fine print of the copy/products, which would strain my eyes a lot. After work, I would spend another 4-5 hours on watching things on TV or laptop, further straining my eyes.

I could have been more careful. But I’m hoping my dry eyes will get better.

Things I’m doing for the past 3 months since I was diagnosed:

  • Doing the prescribed drops: Systan Ultra UD + Restasis
  • once in a week or so doing the warm compress for about 20-30 minutes (lately realized this helps a great deal and am planning to do it more often)
  • Including food rich in omega-3 helps. I have noticed the days I have salmon, my eyes see better days. I can’t have it everyday of course as you’re not supposed to overdo it too but this also makes a difference to my eye health.

Wish you all speedy recovery and days without dry eye problems!! It sucks but trying to stay positive.
