Your eye itches and burns mainly in the office and is reddened? Instead of simply getting eye drops from the pharmacy over and over again, it is better to visit an eye doctor. Because irritated eyes have their reasons. Often they are relatively simple: When working in front of the monitor, we blink less, which reduces the supply of moisture to the eyes. And the dry air in the office additionally tears up the tear film in the eyes. But there are two solutions for this …
Anyone who observes him or herself from time to time during strenuous work in front of the screen knows this: you blink much less. The eyelid blink frequency, which distributes the tear film evenly over the eye, can then decrease from 10 to 15 times per minute to just one or two beats per minute. Experts also refer to this as Office Eye Syndrome. Simply blinking consciously more often helps against this. And against the excessively dry office air, which causes increased evaporation of the tear film in the eye? In this case, you should make sure that there is enough moist, fresh air in the room. And the easiest way to achieve this is to air the room regularly and use a professional humidifier.
All scientific studies show that the entire immune defence of the mucous membranes depends crucially on the humidity of the room. This is because as air humidity decreases, the removal of microorganisms and viruses in the mucous membranes decreases given the drying out of the cilia, meaning they can no longer perform their cleansing function. In addition, from an air humidity level of 50 %, the spread of viruses – including the corona virus! – and bacteria in the room air is reduced. This is because infected persons coughing and distributing fine droplets together with influenza or cold viruses in the air causes the air in the room to dry out, which preserves the pathogens and keeps them infectious for longer. However, in the optimum range of 40 to 60 % relative humidity, the droplets shrink only as much as to bring about an increase in salt concentration – and the germs and microorganisms are killed. In this way, you minimise the risk of infection in the long term!
No dry eyes and reduced risk of infection and contagion through professional air humidification
This is the easiest way to prevent dry air from becoming a health hazard: Measure the humidity in your office and at home at continuous intervals. The measuring instrument used for this is a so-called room thermohygrometer, such as the bargain BZ05 or BZ06 from Trotec. All experts recommend a relative humidity of between 40 and 60 % as a comfort zone for office and work rooms.
