So, after some rains earlier in the summer, it turned very, very dry. Now, the last week or less has had some humidity with slight chances of rain. We have even had some sprinkles. This is the condition that leads people to complain of congestion and possible allergies. The amount of rain does nothing more than stir up the dust. It may help the plants but not much.
I have slept with my windows open a couple of nights, or sat out late reading a couple of nights. I have had some nasal congestion, but mostly, I notice my eyes look puffy, like I have been crying (I have not.) My eyes even feel like I have been crying. This is frustrating, because my eyes feel gritty, dry and hot. Normal saline eye drops do not help. I found my Similasan http://www.similasanusa.com/ eye drops in my little 3-1-1 bag from when I flew in June. I was referred to Similasan by an optometrist. That helps better than regular saline solution. I just forget to get them out.
I know I do all the wrong things for my eyes: I spend too much time on the computer. I read in dim light. And, I can feel the irritation to my eyes when I am at the pool. But that is life. I try to do better. But I do not.
