What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate off the surface of your eye too quickly. This can lead to an unstable tear film, resulting in inflammation and damage to the eye’s surface. Over time this can leave your eyes dry, gritty, red and sensitive to light. If this happens, you could benefit from dry eye management.
Common Dry Eye Symptoms
Eye Redness
Sensitivity to Light
Feeling like something is in the eye
Blurred vision
Excessive tearing
Stinging, burning or gritty sensation
Causes of Dry Eye
Dry eye occurs when the creation of a healthy tear film is disrupted. Decreased tear production or increased tear evaporation happen for many reasons such as: aging, allergies, hormonal changes, Sjogren’s syndrome, poor lid hygiene, contact lens wear, living in a dry climate or even having a job that requires increased screen time. Typically dry eye is caused by a dysfunction in the Meibomian glands, which are the glands responsible for producing the lipid layer of our tears. Problems with the creation of any part of your eye’s tear film can cause dry eyes.
