Dry eyes, or dry eye syndrome, is a chronic condition that can occur when the eye's surface doesn't get enough lubrication. Although it's nothing to be concerned with immediately, you can have several issues like inflammation or scarring of the cornea without proper treatment.
There are a variety of reasons why people can get dry eyes. There can be environmental factors, such as when there is less humidity during the winter season. Individuals with medical conditions, such as thyroid disease, have been known to develop dry eyes. If you have a job that requires you to spend long periods in front of a screen, you are more likely to get dry eyes as well.
Some common symptoms of dry eyes include:
Treating dry eyes begins with a comprehensive eye exam to assess your current condition. After confirming the diagnosis, there are several treatment options available. These include prescription eye drops, changes in your lifestyle habits, and minimally invasive procedures to treat the blockage of your tear ducts. If you wear contact lenses, we may recommend switching to glasses to prevent cornea scratching.
