Could You Be Experiencing Dry Eyes?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or when tears do not provide adequate lubrication. Symptoms can vary throughout the day and may worsen during screen use or in dry, windy environments.

Burning or stinging sensation
Gritty feeling, like sand in the eyes
Redness or eye irritation
Blurred or fluctuating vision
Watery eyes despite feeling dry
Discomfort while reading or using screens

Seek urgent eye care for sudden vision loss, severe eye pain or significant redness with light sensitivity.

WHY DRY EYES HAPPEN

Common Causes of Dry Eye

Several everyday habits and health factors can affect the quantity or quality of your tears.

Extended Screen Time

Concentrating on screens can reduce how often you blink, allowing tears to evaporate more quickly.

Environmental Factors

Air conditioning, fans, wind, dust and dry air may worsen eye irritation.

Age and Hormonal Changes

Tear production and tear quality can change with age and certain hormonal changes.

Other Health Factors

Certain medicines, eyelid conditions and health problems can contribute to dry eye symptoms.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Care That Starts With Understanding Your Eyes

Dry eye treatment depends on the cause, severity and results of your eye examination. Your eye specialist can recommend suitable options rather than relying on one treatment for everyone.

Medical professional discussing patient care

01. Eye Evaluation

Your specialist reviews your symptoms, medical history, tear film and the surface of your eyes to help identify contributing factors.

02. Lubricating Eye Drops

Artificial tears may help relieve dryness. The most suitable formulation and frequency depend on your needs; ask your specialist whether preservative-free drops are appropriate.

03. Eyelid and Tear-Film Care

When eyelid inflammation or oil-gland problems contribute to symptoms, your specialist may recommend eyelid hygiene, warm compresses or other targeted treatment.

04. Additional Treatment if Needed

Persistent or more complex cases may need prescription medicines or specialist procedures, depending on the underlying cause and clinical findings.

05. Follow-Up and Prevention

Follow-up visits help assess symptom control and whether your treatment plan needs adjustment.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about dry eye symptoms, care and when to seek help.

Can dry eyes affect my vision?

Yes. Dry eye can cause temporary blurred or fluctuating vision. Persistent or sudden vision changes should be assessed by an eye-care professional.

Why do my eyes water if they are dry?

Irritation from dryness can trigger reflex tearing. These tears may not provide the stable lubrication your eyes need.

Can screen time cause dry eyes?

Long periods of screen use may reduce blinking and increase tear evaporation. Regular breaks and conscious blinking may help.

Can dry eyes be treated permanently?

Dry eye can be a long-term condition, and results depend on the underlying cause. Many people manage symptoms with an appropriate treatment plan and ongoing care.

When should I consult an eye specialist?

Arrange an examination if symptoms are persistent, recurring or interfering with daily activities. Severe pain, sudden vision changes or significant redness with light sensitivity requires urgent assessment.
