A member asked:
I sometimes feel my eyes irritated, red and dry. especially when i'm close to the air conditioner at home, car or a fan, laptop. normal or illness?

Normal: Your eyes are probably not dry but do not have an excess of tears. The situations you describe add to the dryness and push your eye over in dryness that is symptomatic. It apparently recovers in between. You can stay away from situations that cause the dryness or just add supplementary tears during those time. This is not illness.
