I have to work in an air conditioned place and I've had a problem that other's don't seem to have. That is, when I walk around the building, in about 30 minutes my eyes are becoming irritated, and I often have to close them or use eye drops so they won't feel so dry. I thought of going to the doctor, but is there really a permanent solution he/she could offer, besides, maybe, surgery, which I am unwilling to do? Or is there simply any advice someone could give me?
Thanks for the help.

You probably have dry eye. I've had that for some time. See an ophthalmologist to make sure you have no other problem. I use eye drops twice a day and that works pretty good. Mine are a little more expensive because I use the preservative-free in the Winter (when I need more) or driving (when the a/c from the car dries my eyes). Basically, when I need to use them very frequently. Otherwise, I have other OTC drops.
The surgery is really only recommended if your eyes are so dry that there is concern about damage.
For people that are in windy areas, there are special goggle type glasses that help to prevent the eyes from drying. Not sure if they apply to your situation.

I advantageous do have that undertaking. My eyes water always it really is actual a symptom of dry eyes and also my eyes experience like they're sandy and itchy. i take advantage of a product noted as Refresh Liquigel eye drops that are thicker than the similar old formula of guy-made tears. My undertaking stems from employing hypersensitive reaction drugs and probably age appropriate as well. I even might want to apply the drops each morning and earlier mattress and at the same time as it truly is windy out or I were on the computing device a lot, then extra many times. I placed on glasses, have for 40 4 years and that i do no longer experience that has some thing to do with the dry eye undertaking I have.

Find out if there is another condition causing this. ( Sjorgens etc,) If it is just your environment then you can get a more permanent solution with the little soft rubber plugs that are inserted in the lower tear duct of both eyes. So soft you do not know they are there. It keeps what moisture your eye has from drainig out. A doctor has to insert them though. Good luck.

our eyes have tear glands which functions as a lubricant and as protection from bacteria. Irritation of the eyes is caused by many factors including allergens. try to see an ophthalmologist for an effective eye drop solution for eye allergies.

Go to an Opthalmic surgoen, he will check out your tear ducts and if required perform a very minor surgery that takes only a few seconds.
Good luck.

You could try an optician first, but you may need an eye specialist.
