@doctoreyehealth: Smoke from wildfires can take a toll on your eyes, too. If your eyes have been feeling red, irritated, watery, or gritty, a few simple steps can help: 😎 Wear sunglasses or protective eyewear outdoors to reduce smoke exposure. 💧 Rinse your eyes with preservative-free artificial tears when you come inside. ❄️ Use a cold compress to soothe symptoms. 👁️ If symptoms are significant or don’t improve, schedule an eye exam. In some cases, prescription treatment may be needed to calm inflammation. If you already have dry eye disease or allergies, smoky conditions can make symptoms even worse. Stay safe out there, and take care of your eyes. ❤️ DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.
