Air Conditioners and health

Staying Too Long in an Air-Conditioned Rooms is Bad for Eyes
People who wear contact lenses or have to use computers for a substantial period of time every day are advised by doctors not to stay too long in an air-conditioned rooms.
Staying in an air-conditioned room too long in the summertime may contribute to xerophthalmia, or dryness of eyeballs.
Those who use computers for long stretches at a time stare at the screen often and blink less, which may expose the cornea to more dry air in a room with air-conditioning.

Symptoms are sore eyes, itchiness and eye infections.

Those who wear contacts, especially soft lens users, need more moisture to keep the lenses from falling off, but moisture easily dries off in an air-conditioned room,it is said.
