When I ride in anything much below 10°C, my eyes produce copious amounts of tears, particularly the right. I had always assumed this was just a normal reaction, or over-reaction, to cold air. However, I mentioned it during a recent eye test and it turns out that this is due to my eyes not producing enough of certain oils, and the over-production of tears is an attempt to compensate for this. Blepharitis. Externally there is nothing visibly wrong and unless I am cycling I don’t experience problems.
Have any of you had this and what are the best solutions?
The optometrist at the time recommended some kind of kit to help with this, together with some massaging of the eyelid margins with cotton wool swabs. I didn’t get glasses from them in any case so didn’t get the kit. I see there are loads of such kits on Amazon etc - any recommendations?
Has anyone found cycling glasses that help? I do like my Rudy Projects but they don’t protect my eyes from airflow at all.
Any advice appreciated.
