Sorry for chasing a side point, but I wanted to mention this group that provides a ton of information on dry eye syndrome beyond the very limited resources that my optometrist showed me.

As for evaporative coolers:

  1. they work well when the ambient humidity is low. If the day turns more humid outdoors, they just make noise and don't help. The drier your heat tends to be the more you'll get out of one.

  2. be prepared for any effects of the additional humidity you would be adding to your home. If you're not careful you could cause mold and mildew problems. It's best to use one of these only in the hottest few hours and turn it off well before sunset, leaving time for the place to air out. Or if your area is hot enough for AC overnight, you may want to run a cooler only in cycles, leaving time in between to ensure manageable indoor humidity. If the outside temperature happens to drop quickly enough you can end up with condensation and damp indoors.

The website is good but feels like click bait. I am not sure if I want to read everyone's life story. A solution to the problem in few lines would be nice.

I agree. It's just a resource you can save and look into later when you might have more time or find yourself bored. They do have some other pages or sections that discuss helpful treatments but there's no short summary, I gather, because it's been so different for different people. Anyway, not my site or anything, just something I came across recently.
