Dry Eye Syndrome is the most common eye complaint that we hear about from our patients and clients.
A study out of Denmark surveys the causes of eye discomfort in office settings.
According to the study authors: “Ocular discomfort,” characterized by burning, dry and itching eyes is associated with the presence of aerosols and combustion products and other sensory irritating indoor pollutants. Other factors that contribute to dry eye include prolonged periods of detailed visual tasking. The general climate in an office – if it has low humidity, high temperature, or is drafty – will also contribute to dry eye symptoms.
