What are the causes of Dry Eyes ?
Dry eyes can be influenced by various factors, and while these factors may not always have a direct seasonal correlation, they can exacerbate dry eye symptoms during different seasons in the UK:
Winter (December to February):
- Low Humidity: During winter, indoor heating systems can reduce indoor humidity levels. Low humidity can lead to increased evaporation of tears, causing dryness and discomfort.
- Cold Winds: Cold, dry winds outdoors can strip moisture from your eyes, making them feel dry and irritated, especially in windy conditions.
- Indoor Activities: Spending more time indoors during the winter months, exposed to heaters and central heating systems, can contribute to a drier indoor environment.
Spring (March to May):
- Allergies: Spring is known for increased pollen levels, triggering seasonal allergies in some individuals. Allergic reactions can lead to dry, itchy, and red eyes.
Summer (June to August):
- Sun and Wind Exposure: Longer daylight hours and outdoor activities can result in prolonged exposure to the sun and wind. Sun and wind can increase tear evaporation, causing dryness.
- Air Conditioning: Indoor environments with air conditioning can also reduce humidity levels, potentially exacerbating dry eye symptoms.
Autumn (September to November):
- Allergies: Similar to spring, autumn can bring allergens like ragweed pollen, leading to allergic conjunctivitis and dry eyes.
