BBuilding Evidence400 studies referenced
Maintain 40-60% indoor humidity, especially in heated or air-conditioned environments. Low humidity accelerates tear film evaporation and worsens dry-eye symptoms. A small workspace humidifier is one of the cheapest and most effective dry-eye interventions.
How to do it
1Use a small humidifier on your desk or in your workspace
2Target 40-60% relative humidity (use a cheap hygrometer to check)
3Especially important in winter (heating) and summer (AC)
4Clean the humidifier weekly to prevent mold
5Distilled or filtered water reduces mineral dust
