Exercise and laughter for dry eye relief
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether simple activities like gentle traditional exercise (Baduanjin) or laughter exercises, when combined with artificial tear drops, can improve dry eye symptoms better than using artificial tears alone. If you have dry eye, this could be a drug-free way to feel more comfortable.
