Can the fan make your eyes dry when your eyes are closed or when your asleep. the fan blows on me when i go to sleep but my eyes are closed ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes-drying: Tears can pass through the closed lids which are not perfectly sealed. So a fan can dry the eyes even with the lids closed in sleep.
