Dry Eye Dieases Treatment
Expert Care for Dry, Irritated, and Uncomfortable Eyes
What is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry Eye Disease occurs when your eyes either do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. Tears play a vital role in keeping the surface of the eye lubricated, clear, and healthy. When the tear film becomes unstable, it can lead to irritation, inflammation, and visual disturbances.
Common Symptoms of
Dry Eye Syndrome
You may be suffering from dry eyes if you experience:
- Burning or stinging sensation
- Redness and irritation
- Itching in the eyes
- Excessive watering
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Eye fatigue, especially after screen use
- Sensitivity to light
- A gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses
Causes of
Dry Eye Syndrome
Several factors can contribute to dry eyes, including:
- Prolonged screen time
- Aging
- Air conditioning and environmental pollution
- Contact lens use
- Hormonal changes
