What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry Eye Syndrome is a common condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, redness, burning and blurred vision.

What causes dry eyes?

Dry eyes can be caused by ageing, prolonged screen use, air conditioning, pollution, contact lens wear, certain medications, hormonal changes and reduced tear production.

Can excessive screen time cause dry eyes?

Yes. Looking at computers, laptops and mobile phones reduces blinking frequency, causing tears to evaporate faster and increasing the risk of dry eye syndrome.

What are the symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome?

Common symptoms include burning, stinging, redness, watery eyes, blurred vision, light sensitivity, eye fatigue, itching and a gritty or foreign body sensation.

How is Dry Eye Syndrome treated?

Treatment depends on the cause and may include artificial tears, lubricating gels, warm compresses, eyelid hygiene, prescription eye drops, omega-3 supplements and lifestyle modifications.

Can contact lenses make dry eyes worse?

Yes. Contact lenses may increase tear evaporation and discomfort, especially when worn for long hours without proper lubrication.

Can Dry Eye Syndrome be cured permanently?

Many cases can be effectively managed with appropriate treatment and regular eye care, although some people require ongoing management depending on the underlying cause.

When should I see an eye doctor for dry eyes?

You should see an eye doctor if dry eye symptoms persist, worsen, interfere with daily activities or are associated with pain, redness or blurred vision.

How can I prevent dry eyes?

Blink frequently, follow the 20-20-20 rule during screen use, stay hydrated, wear sunglasses outdoors, use a humidifier when needed and have regular eye examinations.
