While dry eye syndrome is not a dangerous syndrome, it is a very uncomfortable one. The cold air can cause the oily part of the eye to give less lubrication. This makes it harder to blink and create tears and can lead to inflammation and infection. Most of the time, eye drops will be used to create artificial tears and should only be done by a doctor. You will know when dry eye is a problem as the symptoms are redness, itching, blurred vision and burning sensations. Your baby may not be able to explain those issues, but their actions will likely show them. Also, keep the child away from any screens while they are overcoming the issue as they tend to cause the viewer to blink even less.
