Understanding Dry Eve Syndrome
Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to irritation, blurred vision, and discomfort that affects quality of life.
Common Conditions:
- Burning, stinging, or gritty sensation
- Intermittent blurry vision
- Redness or excessive tearing
- Light sensitivity
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye results from many factors, including aging, hormonal changes, medications, autoimmune disease, contact lens use, or prolonged screen time. Environmental influences such as wind or dry air can worsen symptoms.
How Dry Eve Is Treated
Treatment focuses on identifying the underlying cause and restoring tear film balance. Options may include lubricating drops, prescription medications, in-office treatments, and lifestyle adjustments.
