Yahooo! Dee, in Missouri where it’s often humid and hot or very cold, we use AC and heating a lot. I treat my eyes to a humidifier by my bed just about year round. It makes a big difference in my life with dry eyes. I also use artificial tears and ointment drops as needed. I otherwise get “spontaneous corrosion” in either eye and that hurts.
Hopefully this one incident will be your last, though now you have a trick in your back pocket if needed.
Congrats!
