What Is Dry Eye?
Dry Eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right kind of tears to stay properly lubricated. It can lead to discomfort, redness, blurred vision, and even sensitivity to light. While environmental factors like wind, smoke, or screen time can worsen symptoms, Dry Eye can also result from aging, medications, or underlying health conditions.
Common Dry Eye Symptoms:
- Persistent dryness or irritation
- A stinging or burning sensation
- Feeling like there’s something in your eye
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision
- Watery eyes (as a response to dryness)
If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms regularly, it’s time to explore your treatment options.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry Eye can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Age: Tear production decreases naturally as you get older.
- Environmental Factors: Wind, smoke, or dry air can irritate your eyes.
- Screen Time: Spending long hours staring at digital screens reduces the blink rate, leading to dryness.
- Medications: Certain medications, like antihistamines or antidepressants, can reduce tear production.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or the use of oral contraceptives can lead to changes in tear production.
- Contact Lenses: Long-term use of contact lenses may contribute to dry eyes.
