Could Using A Humidifier Ease Redness And Tiredness In Eyes?
My eyes are always red and sometimes feel very tired. I use Visine throughout the day which seems to make it worse. I work as a substitute teacher so I m often in a lot of different classrooms. Today I was in a classroom where the teacher had a humidifier going. I was really surprised when I looked in the mirror at the end of the day to see that my eyes weren t red and feeling tired as they normally are. Could the humidifier have anything to do with this?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having dry eyes.
Humidifier will increase this dryness.
The treatment is by use of artificial tears eye drops.
Do consult your doctor for examination for confirmation if diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
