Dry Eyes
Dry eyes occur when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This condition can lead to discomfort, redness, itchiness, and even blurred vision. It is commonly caused by aging, environmental factors, prolonged screen time, certain medications, or medical conditions like diabetes and autoimmune diseases.
Treatment for dry eyes typically starts with identifying the root cause. Artificial tears or lubricating eye drops are often recommended to provide immediate relief. If the condition is caused by inflammation, your doctor might prescribe anti-inflammatory eye drops or ointments. For more persistent cases, punctal plugs may be inserted to help retain tears in the eyes. Advanced treatments include the use of heat therapy for blocked oil glands or specialized devices to stimulate tear production. Lifestyle modifications, such as using a humidifier and taking regular screen breaks, are also advised to manage symptoms effectively.
