What is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a chronic (long-term) condition that occurs when the tear film is imbalanced, leading to insufficient lubrication of the eye. The imbalance can be caused by several factors, including reduced tear production, increased tear evaporation, or both. Identifying the primary cause is crucial for determining the most appropriate treatment approach, whether it’s through lubricating eye drops, lifestyle adjustments, or addressing underlying health conditions.

 

Symptoms

The common symptoms of dry eye may include:

  • Watery eyes
  • Irritated or uncomfortable eyes
  • Dandruff around the eyelids
  • Intermittent blurred vision
  • Sore inflamed eyelids
  • Eyelids feel heavy and difficult to open in the morning
  • Light sensitivity
  • Contact lens discomfort

 

Causes

The key is to address both the symptoms and the root causes of the condition for optimal comfort and vision restoration. The causes of dry eyes could include:

  • Environmental conditions
  • Blepharitis
  • Age
  • Hormonal changes, particularly with women
  • Contact lenses
  • Computer use for long periods of time
