As the vibrant colours of autumn set in, along with cosy jumpers and pumpkin spice latte’s, the season also brings a unique set of challenges for your eyes. With cooler temperatures, windy days, and a surge of allergens like mould and pollen, autumn can take a toll on your eye health. If you've ever noticed your eyes feeling drier or itchier this time of year, you're not alone. The combination of environmental changes can easily trigger symptoms like dryness, irritation, and discomfort. So, as you switch up your skincare routine and wardrobe for the season, don’t forget about your eyes!
Here’s how you can make sure your eyes are autumn-ready:
Combatting Dryness and Itchiness — Autumn air can be dry and crisp, which isn't exactly a friend to your eyes. Windy days can also sweep up dust and allergens, leaving your eyes feeling irritated. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, whether for a walk in the park or running errands, you're likely to experience some of this discomfort. For contact lens wearers, the dry air can make lenses feel even more uncomfortable.
Tip: Stay hydrated! Drinking enough water helps keep your body and your eyes hydrated. For instant relief from dry, irritated eyes, try using I-DEW Hydrate PF Eye Drops. These drops are perfect for providing quick, soothing hydration and can be used anytime to keep your eyes feeling fresh and comfortable.
Say Goodbye to Allergens — Autumn allergens like mould spores and decaying leaves can trigger hay fever symptoms, including watery or itchy eyes. If you're prone to allergies, autumn can feel like a never-ending battle with itchy, watery & irritated eyes.
Tip: Keep allergens at bay by regularly cleaning your living spaces and washing your hands frequently to avoid transferring allergens to your eyes. You can also incorporate I-DEW Eyelid Wipes into your routine. These gentle wipes are ideal for removing debris, pollen, and other irritants from around the eyes, helping to maintain proper eye hygiene throughout the season.
Guard Against the Wind — Autumn’s blustery winds can not only dry out your eyes but also carry particles like dirt and dust, which can lead to irritation or discomfort. It's important to shield your eyes from these environmental factors, especially when you’re outside.
Tip: Wearing sunglasses isn’t just for summer! Grab a pair to protect your eyes from wind and airborne particles. If your eyes do get irritated, I-DEW Ultra Eye Drops offer deep hydration and long-lasting relief. These drops are ideal for sensitive eyes, making them a must-have for autumn.
Prepare Your Eyes for Cooler Indoor Air
As temperatures drop, we rely more on indoor heating systems to stay warm. Unfortunately, heating can dry out the air inside, contributing to dry, uncomfortable eyes, particularly during the night. When you wake up with itchy or sore eyes, it’s often a sign that your eyes have been too dry while you slept.
Tip: Avoid placing heaters directly in front of your face and use a humidifier to keep the air inside more balanced. Before bed, use I-DEW Advance PF Eye Drops to provide long-lasting moisture and comfort. These preservative-free drops are perfect for overnight use, ensuring that your eyes remain hydrated while you sleep, so you wake up with fresh, comfortable eyes.
