When most people think of lubricating eye drops, they picture a quick fix for dry, itchy eyes. But as it turns out, modern eye drops like those from Ursapharm’s HYLO Range serve a far wider purpose. From screen-heavy lifestyles to environmental exposure and even contact lens wear, eye drops have become an essential tool for eye health. In this post, we explore seven lesser-known—but highly relevant—reasons to incorporate eye drops into your daily routine.
1. Screen Time Fatigue Is a Modern Epidemic
With the average adult spending over 7 hours a day staring at digital screens, digital eye strain is now as common as a morning coffee. Blinking less while looking at screens leads to reduced tear production, resulting in dryness and discomfort. HYLO Fresh eye drops help restore natural moisture levels, providing instant and lasting relief.
2. Air Conditioning and Indoor Heating Are Not Your Eyes' Friends
Modern climate control systems, especially in office environments or Maltese summers with heavy AC use, reduce indoor humidity and dry out your eyes. Using lubricating eye drops combats this environmental dehydration, helping to maintain a healthy tear film.
3. Contact Lens Wearers Need More Than Just a Good Fit
Even with perfectly fitted lenses, friction between your lens and your eye can cause irritation. HYLO eye drops, particularly those compatible with contact lens use such as Hylo Comod, help create a protective buffer and improve overall comfort throughout the day.
4. Allergies Don't Just Affect Your Nose
Seasonal allergies in Malta can lead to red, itchy, irritated eyes. Antihistamines might treat the symptoms, but they can also cause dryness. HYLO drops support hydration and calm the surface of the eye, working alongside allergy treatments.
5. Pollution and UV Exposure Impact Ocular Health
Maltese urban environments come with pollution and UV exposure that can irritate and damage eye surfaces over time. Using eye drops with protective and hydrating ingredients can support long-term eye wellness.
6. Long Haul Travel and Cabin Air Wreck Moisture Levels Air
Travel is notorious for its low humidity and recycled air, both of which can leave your eyes feeling sore and dry. Carrying HYLO drops during travel ensures your eyes stay comfortable and protected—even in 30,000-foot climates.
7. Age-Related Tear Film Changes Are Commonplace
As we age, our eyes naturally produce fewer tears. This is not just a minor inconvenience—it can affect visual clarity and comfort. Regular use of eye drops can restore moisture balance and maintain eye health well into older age.
Daily Care for Healthier Eyes Lubricating Eye drops are no longer a niche solution for occasional dryness—they're part of a proactive approach to modern eye health. Whether you're behind a desk, enjoying Maltese beaches, or hopping on a plane, the HYLO range of eye lubricants offers advanced hydration and protection tailored to your lifestyle.
