What is Dry Eye

Dry Eye Syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to inflammation, irritation, and discomfort.

You may be experiencing dry eye if you notice:

  • Burning, stinging, or scratchy sensation
  • Redness or irritation
  • Blurry vision that improves with blinking
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Excessive tearing (a reflex to dryness)
  • Feeling like there’s something in your eye

What causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye can be caused by a range of factors, including:

  • Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) – blocked oil glands in the eyelids
  • Aging – tear production decreases as we get older
  • Environmental factors – dry climates, wind, screen use
  • Hormonal changes – especially during menopause
  • Medications – like antihistamines, decongestants, or antidepressants
  • Medical conditions – such as rosacea, autoimmune diseases, or allergies
