WHAT IS DRY EYE SYNDROME?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes either do not produce enough tears or produce poor-quality tears that evaporate too quickly.
This leads to irritation, inflammation, and fluctuating vision that can interfere with daily life.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF DRY EYE
- Burning or stinging
- Redness
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Sensitivity to light
- Watery eyes
- Gritty or sandy feeling
- Eye fatigue, especially with screens
Many patients don’t realize that watery eyes are often a sign of dry eye — not the opposite.
WHY DRY EYE IS SO COMMON TODAY
Dry eye is no longer just age-related. We are seeing it more frequently in younger patients due to modern lifestyle factors.
- Excessive screen time
- Contact lens use
- Hormonal changes
- Medications
- Environmental conditions
If you’re experiencing symptoms, a comprehensive eye exam is the first step toward real answers.
