July is dedicated to raising awareness about dry eye disease — a common but often overlooked condition that can affect anyone, especially climbers, outdoor athletes, and screen users.

Common Symptoms:

• Gritty, sandy, or burning feeling

• Blurry or fluctuating vision

• Redness or tearing

• Sensitivity to light

• Discomfort with contact lenses
  
  

Who’s at Risk?

• People who spend hours on screens

• Those in dry, windy, or high-altitude environments

• Post-menopausal women

• Patients with autoimmune conditions or previous eye surgeries
  
  

What You Can Do:

• Use preservative-free artificial tears

• Wear wraparound sunglasses outdoors

• Take screen breaks every 20 minutes

• Stay hydrated — your eyes need moisture too

• Ask about in-office treatments if drops don’t help
  
  

Your eyes deserve comfort and clarity — whether you're in the OR or on a summit.
