University of Montreal-trained optometrist Dr. Elise Kramer is teaming with TheraTears® to share expert advice to help care for eyes during the challenges of the fall season. From prolonged screen time to allergy flare-ups, fall presents a variety of risks. Indoor heat reduces moisture, leaving eyes dry, while falling leaves and yard work can stir up dust and debris. Seasonal weather, fall festivities with alcohol or even tea or coffee, and smoke exposure from bonfires or fireplaces also increase the risk of dry eye.
