Ginger and Dry Eyes: Screens, AC and Tear Inflammation

Stinging eyes, sandy feeling, blurry vision at the end of a screen day: dry eye is exploding with remote work, AC and contact lenses. The most interesting angle? Dry eye is also a story of inflammation — a terrain where the duo makes sense.

👁️ The Inflammation Angle (and the Real Habits)

• Dry eye is inflammatory: research shows chronic dry eye sustains inflammation of the eye surface; gingerols and curcumin act on that underlying terrain
• Omega-3, the real star: dry-eye studies point mainly to omega-3 (oily fish, flax) for tear film quality — pair them
• The 20-20-20 rule: every 20 min, look 20 feet (6 m) away for 20 seconds; at a screen you blink half as much — hence the drying
• The environment: AC and heating dry the air; a bowl of water near the desk, and lower the screen below eye level (less exposed surface)
• General hydration: a dehydrated body makes lower-quality tears — drinking enough matters for the eyes too

⚠️ Persistent dry eye, pain, declining vision, or contact lens wear: see an ophthalmologist — artificial tears and targeted treatments exist, and some causes (Sjögren's, eyelids) need a diagnosis. Ginger is a baseline anti-inflammatory support, never an eye drop — NEVER put ginger in the eye. INTI organic, no added sugar.
