Understanding Dry Eye
Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to:
- Inflammation
- Discomfort
- Blurred vision
It may be caused by environmental factors, extended screen use, aging, or underlying health conditions. Many cases involve meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), where the tiny glands along your eyelid do not produce enough oil to keep your tears healthy.
Common Symptoms of Dry Eye
Common signs you may be experiencing dry eye include:
- Stinging, burning, or scratchy sensation
- Redness or irritation
- Watery eyes, sometimes overcompensating for dryness
- Blurred vision or eye fatigue
- Sensitivity to light
- Feeling like something is in your eye
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, a dry eye assessment can help determine the underlying cause and guide treatment.
What Makes Dry Eye Worse?
Several factors can contribute to or worsen dry eye symptoms:
- Dry indoor or outdoor environments
- Long hours working at computers or on screens
- Certain medications
- Contact lens wear
- Aging and hormonal changes
Understanding these triggers is an important part of creating a personalized treatment plan.
