Dry eyes? Wear sunglasses even when it’s overcast and chilly!
Should you regularly find yourself wiping away tears, you might not think to blame dry eyes — but that’s the most likely cause, and the remedy may be as simple as wearing sunglasses, even on a cloudy, wintry day.
Dry eyes, while already a frequent problem affecting up to 30 per cent of those aged over 50, is becoming increasingly common. There has been a 19 per cent increase in the numbers diagnosed with dry eyes in the previous 12 months, according to a recent survey of 2,000 people by eyecare specialist firm Thea UK.
As well as a gritty feeling, dry eyes — counterintuitively — lead to the overproduction of tears, which is the body’s way of trying to rehydrate the eye’s surface.
And while for some it’s just a slight irritation, severe cases can lead to impaired vision and irreversible eye damage, says Alex Ionides, a consultant ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.
Dry eyes, while already a frequent problem affecting up to 30 per cent of those aged over 50, is becoming increasingly common. There has been a 19 per cent increase in the numbers diagnosed with dry eyes in the previous 12 months, according to a recent survey of 2,000 people by eyecare specialist firm Thea UK
Dry eyes become increasingly common with age because ‘from the age of 50, the meibomian glands do not produce enough oily secretion to coat the cornea fully, which means the tears are not sealed in and are more likely to evaporate’, explains Mr Ionides
The eyes are usually lubricated by the tear film: the first layer is made up of what Mr Ionides likens to ‘transparent slime, which keeps the cornea [the clear outer surface of the eye] bathed in liquid’.
On top of this mucosal ‘slime’ is a watery layer of tears. This has antibacterial properties and helps keep the cornea in good health. On top of that is the upper oily layer produced by the meibomian glands (tiny glands in the eyelids), which seals the moisture in, preventing it from evaporating.
Dry eyes become increasingly common with age because ‘from the age of 50, the meibomian glands do not produce enough oily secretion to coat the cornea fully, which means the tears are not sealed in and are more likely to evaporate’, explains Mr Ionides.
People who have had laser eye surgery can also develop dry eyes, as the procedure can reduce the sensitivity of nerves in the surface of the eye, which would normally sense the need to produce tears
The condition is also common during the menopause, adds Nigel Kirkpatrick, a consultant ophthalmologist at Newmedica, a chain of NHS and private ophthalmology clinics.
‘The drop in oestrogen causes mucous membranes to dry out and glands produce less of the important hydrating fluids. This can leave the eyes feeling gritty and inflamed and looking red.’
But why are dry eyes becoming more common? This is, in part, due to the greater use of air conditioning and central heating (which also increase evaporation) and ever-longer periods spent staring at screens, since we blink less when doing so, and blinking spreads moisture around the surface of the eye.
But the increased use of contact lenses is also to blame, as this can cause more of your tear film to evaporate. ‘Contact lenses float semi-submerged in the tear film, which can disrupt the careful moisture balance, leading to increased evaporation,’ says Mr Ionides.
People who have had laser eye surgery can also develop dry eyes, as the procedure can reduce the sensitivity of nerves in the surface of the eye, which would normally sense the need to produce tears.
Dry eyes can affect vision, too. ‘The tear film is the first surface the light hits as it enters the eye,’ says Mr Ionides. ‘If it’s of poor quality, the image can be blurred, and if the cornea is not bathed with adequate tears, it can become uncomfortable and sensitive to light.’
‘Left untreated, severe dry eyes may lead to inflammation of the tissues around the eye, abrasion of the corneal surface and corneal ulcers,’ says Mr Kirkpatrick. ‘In extreme cases, it can lead to vision loss.’

On top of that is the upper oily layer produced by the meibomian glands (tiny glands in the eyelids), which seals the moisture in, preventing it from evaporating
Mild cases can respond well to a warm flannel over the eyes. ‘The warmth melts the oily secretions in the meibomian glands, making them more runny, and gently massaging your eyes will help empty the contents of the glands onto the cornea to replenish the outer oily layer,’ says Mr Ionides.
And putting on a pair of sunglasses when you go out on a cold, windy day (regardless of whether the sun is shining) will limit the evaporation of your tears.
Sunglasses, like spectacles, create a pocket of warm, humidified air in front of the eyes, protecting them from the evaporating impact of a breeze.
And don’t forget to blink. ‘During periods of intense concentration, the eyes subconsciously avoid blinking to prevent losing sight of the intricate task in hand,’ says Mr Ionides. ‘But this allows more time for tears to evaporate.’
Taking a break from wearing contact lenses also helps if you have dry eyes, says Mr Ionides.
‘If you stop wearing them for a week or so, dry-eye symptoms often disappear as the tear film returns to its normal formulation and structure.’
As for eye drops, most contain the chemicals polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, which coat the eye and prevent evaporation of the tear film.
Optometrists recommend picking ones which are ‘preservative free’ to avoid any chemicals which might irritate already irritated eyes.
Exclusive: Geely plans to turn maker of London black cabs into EV powerhouse
COVENTRY, England, Jan 23 (Reuters) – China’s Geely (0175.HK) is planning a big investment to turn the maker of London’s iconic black taxis into a high-volume, all-electric brand with a range of commercial and passenger vehicles, executives at the unit told Reuters.
London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) also aims to expand its suite of services, which include cars arranging their own maintenance and recognising their owner’s interests to help them book activities.
“We need a developed product portfolio. We need to make big investments in terms of the technology and infrastructure,” LEVC Chief Executive Alex Nan said at the taxi maker’s headquarters in Coventry, central England. “Geely will make consistent investments into LEVC because this is a very unique project.”
LEVC builds a hybrid taxi model that starts at around 66,000 pounds ($81,500), which has a battery providing 64 miles (103 km) of range and a petrol range-extender giving it a total range of over 300 miles. The company’s business was hit hard by the pandemic and it laid off 140 staff in October.
Nan said LEVC and Geely would seek to attract other investors to its zero-emission portfolio and would look to partner with other carmakers to develop new technology.
Executives said the size of Geely’s investment would be disclosed later. So far the Chinese group, which took full control of LEVC in 2013, has invested 500 million pounds in it.
“Geely fully supports the new transition strategy laid out by LEVC’s board and executive team,” Geely said in a statement.
In 2021, Geely launched a 2 billion pound investment in another unit, niche British luxury sports carmaker Lotus, to massively expand production of its sports cars and build high-end SUVs and sedans in Britain and China. Geely is following a similar path in its plans to grow LEVC, executives said.
Britain’s EV ambitions were dealt a blow last week when startup Britishvolt, which had planned to build a major battery factory in northeast England, filed for administration.
“We need to make sure the UK environment as a whole is competitive and has its position on the world stage,” said LEVC managing director Chris Allen.
READY TO ACCELERATE
Geely owns multiple brands including Volvo (VOLCARb.ST) and – via a joint venture with Volvo – Polestar . Zeekr, another brand in the group, filed for a U.S. initial public offering last month.
As such, Geely faces a complexity that larger EV makers BYD (002594.SZ) and Tesla (TSLA.O) have avoided.
Allen said LEVC was exploring a range of commercial and passenger car models on a common electric platform. It can lean on other group brands that already have EVs to “move forward in a fast, agile way”.
The company already uses an infotainment system and software developed by Volvo and a steering wheel from the Swedish carmaker, allowing it to cut costs, Allen said.
“There’s nothing we couldn’t deliver in a very short time period if we needed to, but it’s just a question of timing,” he said, adding LEVC could easily have a full range of EVs on the road within five years.
“But in two years time, is the industry going to be ready, is the charging infrastructure going to be there, is consumer confidence going to be there?”
LEVC currently has the capacity to build 3,000 taxis a year running on a single shift at its Coventry factory. Allen said that could easily be increased to 20,000 and the plant had room to expand. It could also lean on production in China as Lotus has, Allen said. A major car plant produces on average around 300,000 vehicles per year.
“There’s a huge amount of value in our product that hasn’t ever really been maximised,” Allen said. “This is about growing LEVC into a much more recognizable brand on a global scale and expanding our product offering into as many spaces as we can.”

Why do horses wear shoes?
Horses have been central to human transportation and agriculture for centuries. These symbols of power and speed require hoof care and new shoes every four to six weeks to stay on the job. But why?
Horses (Equus caballus) that are domesticated for human use and selectively bred for performance wear shoes because their feet are delicate and therefore need protection, said Dr. Fernanda Camargo (opens in new tab), a veterinarian and equine extension agent at the University of Kentucky. “Shoes provide protection to some areas of the foot of the horse,” Camargo told Live Science in an email. “They prevent the hooves from wearing out too much, and thus becoming sensitive.”
The exterior of the hoof, known as the wall, is made of a horn-like material that grows continuously and has to be trimmed, just like a person’s fingernails, according to University of Missouri Extension (opens in new tab). “Shoes also help the foot maintain its proper shape,” Camargo said.
However, rough terrain, such as sand and rocks, can cause the exterior to wear away, exposing the sensitive inner hoof. Then, the horse experiences pain and may be unable to walk. Historically, such impairments would have prevented horses from being used on the battlefields or during the harvest, so shoes were added to reinforce the hoof wall, Camargo said.
It’s estimated that horses have been wearing shoes of some kind since they were domesticated about 6,000 years ago (opens in new tab), Camargo said.
Related: Why do we still measure things in horsepower?
Originally, horseshoes were made of leather or plant material. Metal shoes nailed to horses feet were first used around A.D. 500 and became commonplace over the next 500 years, Camargo said. While aluminum and steel shoes nailed to the hoof are still the most common, she said, a variety of other materials — such as rubber, resin and plastic — can also be nailed or glued to the hoof as a shoe.
While many horses need shoes, not all do; it depends on the type of riding, the terrain and how frequently the horse is ridden. Those ridden on rocky terrain or concrete are more likely to need shoes. Even horses that aren’t ridden may require shoes to protect them from the terrain or therapeutic shoes to help manage a foot condition. But “a lot of horses that are just ridden here and there, and are kept on grassy/not hard terrain will do just fine without shoes, with regular farrier visits,” Camargo said.
Meanwhile, wild mustangs don’t wear shoes and manage to travel over rough terrain because they have very strong feet, Camargo said. But their hooves can still wear down and cause lameness. If this happens it will cost a mustang its life, she said.
Some people wonder whether nailing shoes on the horse’s hoof hurts them. There are no blood vessels or nerves in the wall of the hoof, according to University of Missouri Extension, so if the shoe is nailed on properly, it isn’t painful. “But improper shoeing can absolutely hurt,” Camargo said. If the shoes or nails are placed wrong, the shoes are the wrong shape or size, or if the farrier applies pressure in the wrong areas, they can hurt the horse. And if the hooves are badly trimmed beforehand, it can lead to pain or lameness with or without shoes, she said.
UK PM Rishi Sunak Gets Fined By Police For Failing To Wear Seatbelt
British police issued PM Rishi Sunak with a fine for riding in a car without wearing his seat belt.
London:
British police issued Prime Minister Rishi Sunak with a fine on Friday for riding in a car without wearing his seat belt in order to film a clip for social media.
Sunak, who apologised on Thursday for what he called a “brief error of judgement”, filmed a video in the back seat of his car while travelling in the north of England, without wearing a seat belt.
“Following the circulation of a video on social media showing an individual failing to wear a seat belt while a passenger in a moving car in Lancashire we have today issued a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of fixed penalty,” Lancashire Police said on Twitter.

Mobvoi ‘TicWatch Pro 5’ design leak, Wear OS 3, Snapdragon W5+
We’ve now gotten our first look at the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 — the first Wear OS watch with the Snapdragon W5+ chip — in a newly leaked render.
Last year, when Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon W5+ chip for wearables, it was confirmed that Mobvoi would be the first company to use the chip in a watch. At the time, Mobvoi’s plans were to release the new TicWatch in fall 2022, though this seems to have fallen through.
Today, leaker Kuba Wojciechowski took to Twitter to share the first glimpse of the next generation of the TicWatch series. While the current model is the TicWatch Pro 3, the company is skipping ahead to the TicWatch Pro 5, due to a longstanding superstition in Chinese culture that considers four an unlucky number. The move is similar to how there was never a OnePlus 4.
Though the previous model featured two crowns on the right side, the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 has a simplified design with only one crown with a button above it. This almost identically matches the layout of the Google Pixel Watch. And, where there previously were numerals around the screen bezel, the Ticwatch Pro 5 has a textured rim.
Otherwise, the core shape and design remain essentially the same. The only other detail we can glean is the blue watch face, featuring the current time in a large font with the date as a complication in the corner.
According to Wojciechowski, the watch should bring the full weight of Wear OS 3. Google has previously confirmed that select TicWatch models will receive an update to Wear OS 3, though Mobvoi did not provide a timeline for that update.
No other specs about the device have been confirmed as of yet, but if the TicWatch Pro 5 is anything like its predecessor, we’re likely in for an exciting watch. In our review of the TicWatch Pro 3, we found that Mobvoi had delivered three-day battery life, significantly higher than what Google’s own Pixel Watch provides.

Sex pills, designer clothes found in mafia boss Messina Denaro’s hideout
PALERMO, Italy, Jan 17 (Reuters) – Perfumes, designer clothes and sex pills were found on Tuesday in an apartment which investigators believe was the last hideout of Sicilian mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, judicial sources said, a day after the arrest of the fugitive.
Messina Denaro, 60, caught on Monday at a private hospital in Palermo after 30 years on the run, is being held in the central Italian city of L’Aquila, the Palermo prosecutor said. He was transferred from Sicily on the day of his arrest.
The apartment is in an a modest building near the centre of Campobello di Mazara, a town in the Western Sicilian province of Trapani, just a few kilometres from Messina Denaro’s home town of Castelvetrano.
Investigators found clothes, shoes, a well-stocked fridge and restaurant receipts there, judicial sources said. They also found potency pills.
“He had a regular life, he went to the supermarket,” said magistrate Paolo Guido, one the officials investigating Messina Denaro.
Neighbours described him as a friendly person.
“I live on the first floor of the building, sometimes I have seen this person, greeted him and nothing else. He responded in a cordial manner,” Rosario Cognata told Italian media.

TASTE FOR LUXURY
Messina Denaro was known for his taste for luxury goods, including designer clothes and expensive sunglasses. Police said he was wearing a watch worth 35,000 euros ($38,000) when he was arrested.
Messina Denaro is believed to have lived in the apartment for the past year, judicial sources said, but police are still searching for other places where he might have spent time.
Investigators believe Messina Denaro was driven on Monday to Palermo’s La Maddalena hospital from Campobello di Mazara to be treated for cancer. The town was home to his alleged aide Giovanni Luppino, who was arrested with him.
Police placed under investigation medical doctor Alfonso Tumbarello on suspicion of aiding and abetting the mafia boss, judicial sources said, because he attended to Messina Denaro, who was undergoing anti-cancer treatment under a false name.
The sources said he gave the name of Andrea Bonafede, who was the owner of the apartment Messina Denaro was living in, and who is also under investigation.
Nicknamed “‘U Siccu” (The Skinny One), Messina Denaro picked up 20 life prison terms in trials held in absentia for his role in an array of mob murders, including the bomb attacks that killed anti-mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992.
Despite his illness, prosecutors said Messina Denaro was fit enough to serve time in prison where he will carry on with his cancer treatment.($1 = 0.9232 euros)

Covid vaccines may make BOTOX wear off faster, study suggests
Bad news for Instagram models and aging Hollywood celebrities — Covid vaccines may make Botox wear off quicker.
An Israeli study claims that Botox injections used to minimize forehead and crow’s feet lines ‘might be less effective after Covid-19 vaccination’.
Researchers found the average time that it took patients to need a top-up of the wrinkle-smoother shortened after they received the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
Patients who previously returned every 118 days between injections were coming in around 20 days earlier. But doctors stressed it was not a reason not to get the vaccine.
Findings from an Israeli study indicate that the Pfizer vaccine may make Botox injections less effective, with regular Botox patients coming in around two to three weeks earlier for top-ups after receiving the vax
Dermatologists in the US are reportedly seeing a similar trend among Botox users.
New York dermatologist Dr. Marisa Garshick addressed the topic in an Instagram reel last week.
‘Is the COVID vaccine why your Botox isn’t lasting as long?’ she asks in the short video, before flashing an image of the study.
In the accompanying caption, Dr. Garshick clarified that while some dermatologists – and patients – may have noticed this phenomenon in the office, ‘more research is needed to truly understand this observation’.
She also made sure to caveat that the potential cosmetic side-effect is not a reason to not get vaccinated.
Commenting on the post, popular skincare influencer Susan Yara said she too had experienced the quicker dissolving of her filler.
‘UGH!! I didn’t want this to be true, but it happened to me. I switched to Xeomin and it made a big difference’, she wrote beneath the video.
Injections generally last four to six months before a top-up is required to ensure a smooth complexion.
Botox is a brand name of botulinum toxin injectables.
They are injectable chemical class known as neuromodulators that interrupt signals between nerves and muscles to make them relax.
As a result, visible wrinkles will disappear.
These neuromodulators are typically used to treat the areas of the face between the eyebrows and in the corners of the eyes, as well as sometimes to plump the upper lip in a procedure called a ‘lip flip’.
The study looked at botulinum toxin injectables more generally – not just the popular Botox but also other newer neuromodulator treatments like Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau.
Published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, the paper focused on 45 subjects, 89 percent female, with an average age of 48.3.
Because of the relatively small sample size, researchers clarified that their findings are inconclusive and called for additional research into the subject.
However, their results showed a marked decrease in the time it took patients to return to clinics needing Botulinum type A (BTA) top-up injections.
It can be assumed that the shortening of this interval between treatments mirrors ‘a reduction in the effectiveness of BTA’ following the vaccine, researchers explained.
The study did not determine exactly why the shot would have an effect on someone’s Botox.
But researchers speculate that the immune response created by the shot could see the injected substance as a foreign substance in the body and attack it.
In turn, the effects of Botox quickly wear off as antibodies in the blood stream fight it off.
It also did not clarify whether contracting the Covid virus itself had a similar impact on Botox longevity.
Questions over the impact of the mRNA jab on patients with filler – substances injected into the skin to add volume and fullness – were raised early on during the vaccine rollout after the FDA reported two people developing facial swelling after vaccination, both with prior histories of cosmetic filler injections.
On both, the swelling was localized to where filler was injected but went down with anti-histamines and steroid cream.
Doctors at the time claimed the reaction was most likely the result of the immune system revving up in the wake of the vaccine – a similar explanation to that put forward by the recent Botox-focused study.
None of these side effects imply the Covid vaccine is unsafe, however, as many dermatologists are clear to clarify.
If patients are worried about their Botox not working as well post-jab, other types of BTA treatments are available and potentially more effective.
Likewise, people can also develop a natural resistance to Botox over time, regardless of whether they’ve received the vax.
In short, as most would hopefully agree, a forehead line or two is worth avoiding a potentially deadly virus.
S&P 500 near flat as investors weigh chances of less aggressive rate hikes
NEW YORK, Jan 9 (Reuters) – The S&P 500 index (.SPX) erased early gains to close nearly flat on Monday as expectations that the Federal Reserve will become less aggressive with its interest rate hikes were offset by lingering worries about inflation.
The Dow ended lower, and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) ended well off the day’s highs.
Investors are awaiting comments Tuesday from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who some strategists expect could say more time is needed to show inflation is under control.
Money market bets were showing 77% odds of a 25-basis point hike in the Fed’s February policy meeting.
A consumer prices report due Thursday could be key for rate expectations, said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist, LPL Financial in Charlotte, North Carolina. “The CPI report this week is going to be essential for fine-tuning the Fed funds futures market.”
Investors also may have sold some shares after recent strong market gains, said Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Investment Management in Chicago. “You’re seeing a little bit of profit-taking ahead of the CPI number due out this week.”
The technology sector (.SPLRCT) gained as Treasury yields fell. Consumer discretionary stocks (.SPLRCD) also rose, with Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) up 1.5% after Jefferies said it saw cost pressures easing for the e-commerce giant in the second half of the year.
Also, S&P 500 companies are about to kick off the fourth-quarter earnings period, with results from top U.S. banks expected later this week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) fell 112.96 points, or 0.34%, to 33,517.65, the S&P 500 (.SPX) lost 2.99 points, or 0.08%, to 3,892.09 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) added 66.36 points, or 0.63%, to 10,635.65.
Shares of Broadcom Inc (AVGO.O) fell in late trading to end down 2% after Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Apple Inc (AAPL.O) plans to drop a Broadcom chip in 2025 and use an in-house design instead.
Friday’s jobs report, which showed a moderation in wage increases, lifted hopes that the Fed might become less aggressive in its rate-hike push to reduce inflation.
Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) shares rose 5.9% after the electric-vehicle maker indicated longer waiting times for some versions of the Model Y in China, signaling the recent price cuts could be stoking demand.
Macy’s Inc (M.N) fell 7.7% and Lululemon Athletica Inc (LULU.O) dropped 9.3% after both retailers issued disappointing holiday-quarter forecasts.
Volume on U.S. exchanges was 11.35 billion shares, compared with the 10.90 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by a 1.85-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.48-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
The S&P 500 posted 13 new 52-week highs and two new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 129 new highs and 32 new lows.
