What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears isn’t sufficient to keep your eyes properly lubricated. This common condition can result from various factors, including aging, medical conditions, environmental factors, or prolonged screen time. Without treatment, dry eye syndrome can lead to discomfort, blurry vision, and even damage to the eye’s surface.
Common Symptoms of Dry Eyes
If you’re struggling with dry eyes, you may experience:
- Persistent dryness or irritation
- Burning or stinging sensations
- Redness or inflammation
- A gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision that improves with blinking
- Excessive tearing (a response to irritation)
If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s essential to seek professional care to prevent further complications and restore your eye comfort.
