Belmont Eye Center News

Dry, burning, watery, or tired eyes are more than a minor annoyance. Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common eye conditions today — and one of the most misunderstood.At Belmont Eye Center, we see patients every day who are frustrated with ongoing symptoms and have not found lasting relief.

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.
