Approximately 20 years ago I had PRK eye surgery to correct my vision. The results were miraculous and it felt soooo awesome when I took my glasses and threw them into the trash can!

Sadly one of the disadvantages of the surgery was that the eyes become dry and require moisturizing eyedrop's throughout the day. We were all warned regarding the side effects and were told that eyedrops would become our best friend.

Anyway, lately my eyes felt so dry at night that I was using drops every 5 minutes. I then remembered one of the hacks my ophthalmologist had told me.

I took a clean washcloth and soaked it under running hot water from the faucet and applied it to my closed eyes as warm/hot compresses. Everytime the washcloth became cool. I repeated the process for each eye for 3 - 5 minutes. The results were amazing! I felt immediate relief and did not require any eyedrops for the rest of the evening.

Sometimes the tear ducts can become clogged from eye secretions and the hot compresses open them up producing soothing relief!

Hi
My eyes uset get watery from the screeens and bright light.
I did the exact same thing: got some hot water...
Pour into bowel
Add Salt.
Dip a clean cloth in
Pad my eyes..
Yes almost immediate relief and very refreshing...

But here's what you need to do to prevent:

Wear SUNGLASSES when at the screen or prolonged periods on your smartphone..
It's so simple but it works like a dream...

bump.....

you may need this )

Also add salt to the hot water, better again make it sea salt..
Definitly helps the refreshing of the eyes process.

This is what I use:

Systane Hydration Preservative Free

Any of the Systane drops are helpful - no eye rubbing, just use the drops.
I carry a small bottle everywhere, but inside a tiny ziplock (like electronic parts are shipped in) to keep hand germs off the bottle.
For the last year I've kept my iPh on B&W rather than color, to kill the "wakie-wakie" blue light. It's less blingie but I only miss the color when I'm following a route on Waze or MapQuest. Pictures show up fine on the PC.
