Dry Eyes

Description

Dry eyes, also known as dry eye syndrome, dry eye disease (DED), or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, occurs when the eyes lack sufficient moisture and lubrication. This common condition can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like stinging, burning, scratchiness, a gritty sensation, redness, blurry vision, or a feeling of something in the eye. Factors such as aging, hormonal changes, medical conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome, environmental exposure, contact lens use, and certain medications may contribute to dry eyes. Sometimes, people experience watery eyes as a response to dryness, highlighting how complex tear balance is. Left untreated, dry eyes can lead to more serious issues, including eye infections and vision problems. Understanding terms like ocular surface disease, xerophthalmia, and dysfunctional tear syndrome helps patients search for the best relief and connect with the right specialists.
