Fall is a beautiful time to enjoy the outdoors in Brookings, but cool coastal winds can be uncomfortable for people with dry eye. Wind exposure can cause tears to evaporate more quickly, leaving the eyes feeling irritated, gritty, watery, or sensitive. If a walk along the coast regularly leaves your eyes stinging, your symptoms may be a sign that your tear film needs extra support. At Precision Eyecare, we help patients identify what is contributing to dry eye symptoms and determine appropriate ways to improve comfort.

Brookings summers bring brighter days, more outdoor time, and more exposure to sunlight reflecting off roads, water, and windows. Even when the weather feels mild, UV exposure can still affect your eyes. Squinting, glare, and light sensitivity can make your vision feel less clear, especially if your current glasses or sunglasses are not providing the right protection.
