Dry eye symptoms can be aggravated by a number of external factors including: computer use; heating and air conditioning; reading; exposure to dust and allergens; hot, dry or windy environments; contact lens use; certain medications; and demographics.

While the causes may vary, for the millions of people who suffer, dry eye symptoms are common and may include:

• eye redness
• burning, stinging or scratchy sensation in the eye, especially in an environment with low humidity
• a feeling that something is in the eye
• trouble wearing contact lenses
• a gritty feeling that may be persistent and painful
• eye dryness
• excessive tearing
• blurry vision

One very effective way to treat these symptoms is the daily application of a moist heat compress. Thermalon’s innovative new hydrating eye compress makes this easy, safe and convenient. It heats quickly in the microwave to provide a doctor recommended five minute dry eye treatment warm compress that will relieve and refresh your dry eyes … naturally.

If you cannot find relief from your dry eye symptoms, make an appointment with an eye care professional to discuss your symptoms.
