It was during a fasting period that I first noticed it—my eyes felt different. Slight dryness, a bit of discomfort, and sometimes my vision didn’t feel as sharp as usual. At first, I didn’t connect it to fasting. But as the days went on, the pattern became clearer.
Fasting can affect the body in subtle ways, including the eyes. Reduced fluid intake during the day may lead to mild dehydration, which can decrease tear production and cause dryness or irritation. Long hours without food can also contribute to fatigue, making the eyes feel strained, especially when combined with screen time.
The good news is that simple adjustments can help. Stay well-hydrated during non-fasting hours, reduce prolonged screen exposure, and use lubricating eye drops if recommended. Paying attention to how your eyes feel during this period is important.
Fasting is a time of discipline and reflection—but your eye health should not be overlooked.
Even in moments of discipline, your eyes still need care.
Clear vision is not just about seeing better—it’s about living better.
At Enny Eye Care, we are committed to helping you protect, preserve, and prioritize your sight every day.
