Effect by outcome
how big the change is
No quantified outcomes yet. Once we have studies with measurable endpoints, you will see per-outcome magnitude here.
Keep air conditioning, heating vents, fans and car vents from blowing directly at your eyes. Direct airflow accelerates tear evaporation and worsens dryness.
This entry is in our database, but the research pipeline has not yet synthesized supporting papers. Evidence will update automatically as it's ingested.
How to do it
1Angle car and desk vents away from your face
2Avoid sitting directly under AC or heating outlets
3Position fans to circulate air without aiming at your eyes
4In dry, climate-controlled rooms, combine with a humidifier
