The Battle for Moisture:
Understanding Dry Eyes

Dry eye is a condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears, leading to discomfort, redness, and potential damage to the eye's surface. This can result from poor tear quality, excessive tear evaporation, or an underlying health problem.

Common Causes
of Dry Eye

Age: Decreased tear production is a common age-related factor.

Environmental Factors: Exposure to wind, smoke, or dry climates can worsen dry eye symptoms.

Medical Conditions: Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid disorders may contribute to dry eyes.

Prolonged Screen Time: Excessive use of digital devices can lead to dry conditions.

Hormonal Changes: Women experiencing hormonal fluctuations may be prone to dry eye.

Certain Medications: Certain drugs like antihistamines, decongestants, and antidepressants can induce dry eye as a side effect.

Insufficient Blinking: Staring at screens without regular blinking disrupts tear spread, causing dryness and discomfort.

Common Dry Eye
Symptoms

Redness: Eyes may appear red and bloodshot.

Irritation: Constant irritation or a gritty sensation.

A Burning Sensation in Your Eyes: Eyes may feel like they are burning.

Blurry Vision: Vision may become temporarily blurred.

Light Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to light.

Watery Eyes: Paradoxically, eyes may water excessively.

Stringy Mucus: Production of stringy mucus in or around the eyes.

Discomfort when Wearing Contact Lenses: Contacts may feel uncomfortable.

Difficulty Driving at Night: Vision challenges in low-light conditions.

Eye Fatigue: Tired eyes, especially after prolonged screen use.

The Feeling of a Foreign Body in Your Eyes: Sensation of something in one or both eyes.

Reading Difficulties: Discomfort while reading or doing visually intensive tasks.
