Insights into Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a chronic condition in which your eyes do not produce enough quality tears or experience rapid evaporation. This leads to irritation, blurred vision, and a gritty sensation. There are different types of dry eye, including aqueous-deficient dry eye (not enough watery tears), evaporative dry eye (insufficient oil in tears), and mixed dry eye (a combination of both). Understanding the type of dry eye is essential for effective treatment.

Understanding the Causes

DES can be caused by various factors, like:

  • Aging
  • Wind, smoke, and dry air
  • Conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid disorders
  • Certain medications
  • Prolonged screen time
  • Improperly fitted or overworn contact lenses
