As the study showed, the results of which are published in the journal "Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science", dry and itchy eyes in windy and cold weather can be caused by the fact that under these conditions the consistency changes Protective film on the surface of the eyeball, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. Net The study found that at temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius the fatty substance (the secret of the meibomian glands) covering the eyeball hardens and some of its areas remain not fully protected from the effects of wind and pathogenic microorganisms.

In addition, a frozen secret can clog the channels of meibomian glands, but with an increase in eye temperature to 34 degrees Celsius, the substance quickly returns to its original state.

The author of the study, Igor Butovich, suggested several recommendations for those who suffer from "dry eye syndrome": "In a cold climate, if you keep your eyes warm, the fluidity of the secretion of meibomian glands and its protective properties remain unchanged, and in windy weather avoid excessive evaporation of the secret Allows wearing protective goggles ".
