You showered after the pool. But did your eyes recover?
Chlorine is designed to keep pool water clean, but it doesn't discriminate. When you swim, it strips away your eye's natural tear film, leaving the surface exposed, irritated, and struggling to stay lubricated long after you've dried off.
And the more time you spend in the water this summer, the more it adds up.
Here's what chlorine exposure can do to your eyes:
→ Redness and visible irritation that lingers after swimming.
→ Burning or stinging that doesn't fully go away.
→ A gritty or scratchy sensation, like something's in your eye.
→ Dryness that worsens throughout the day.
→ Excessive tearing as your eyes work overtime to compensate.
If any of these sound familiar after a day at the pool, your tear film may need more support than you think. Dr. Kylie Barto specializes in dry eye care and can help you protect your eyes all summer long with treatment options and supplements from tailored to your specific needs.
