Dr. Van Hoose, O.D. Answers Your Eyecare Questions
Is it true that Dry Eye symptoms seem to be more severe in the winter than in the warmer spring and summer month
Dry eye is always worse during dry parts of the year. Here in San Diego, it can be dry almost year-round. Symptoms also tend to worsen when people are really depending on their heaters or air conditioners, which tend to create drier air in our indoor environments.
