Comment on Does anyone recommend evaporative cooler here ? I know aircon is much better but I wanted something that makes air a bit humid to help with my severe dry eyes.

  Something to add is that you need good ventilation in and out of the house or room that you’re using the cooler in. Place it at the window, draw air from outside, push the cooled air into the room, leave a door or an opposing window open so that the humid air can exit.

  Or vice versa, cooler in a doorway, window open. Just make sure you have a flow through ventilation through the area.

  If you use one in a closed room you’ll rapidly end up with a very humid room and no cooling effect.

    I was using it in a closed room but after keeping it near the door and also opening a window it made a huge difference. Thank you so much

  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.
