The invention relates to a method for avoiding the onset of eye discomfort while performing prolonged near point activities such as use of a computer or reading. The method of the invention comprises creation of a high periocular relative humidity over the surface of the eyes when engaged in prolonged near point activities. Preferably, the relative humidity is maintained at least at 80 % and preferably at least at 90 %. The increased humidity maintains the thickness of the lipid layer during such activity thereby reducing evaporation from the tear film. The high periocular relative humidity is desirably achieved using frames over the eye to encase the eye in a confined but controlled atmosphere.
