It is true that any form of dry air gushing or coming out of a/c or fan etc directly over the eyes could make the eyes dry. We must take proper care and not allow direct blow of dry air into the eyes.
Making air from blow dryer gush on the eyes:
The dry eyes condition in a person could become worse when he or she allows dry air from the blow dryer to fall on the eyes. Truth is that hot air released from the blow dryer could make the eyes dry and pull away the moisture.
Exposing eyes to extreme temperatures:
Exposing the eyes to extreme temperatures would worsen the dry eyes condition of a person. The moisture that is present in the eyes would evaporate when the eyes get exposed to too much heat or too much cold.
Less blinking:
Not many would be aware of the fact that by blinking less we could make the dry eye condition worsen. Many these days use computers, mobile phones, laptops etc and they blink less. This reduced blinking could lead to dry eyes.
Smoking:
Smoke could be an irritant for the eyes and could lead to dry eyes condition to worsen. So, quitting smoking could help us to avoid dry eye condition plus several health issues etc.
