How it works

Low ambient humidity accelerates tear evaporation from the ocular surface. Maintaining adequate indoor humidity slows tear evaporation and reduces dry eye symptoms.

Clean humidifiers regularly to prevent mould and bacteria growth which can worsen respiratory and eye conditions.

Why moderate evidence

Consistent clinical recommendation. Environmental humidity is a recognised modifiable risk factor for dry eye disease.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
