Millions of Americans suffer from a condition called Dry Eye. Dry Eye can be caused by a variety of factors, but is usually the result of inadequate lubrication of the eyeball. Naturally produced tears provide lubrication and protection for your eyes. When your eyes cannot produce quality tears, you may feel symptoms like burning, scratching, and overall irritated eyes. Our eyes need tears to stay healthy and comfortable.
Common Symptoms of Dry Eye:
Overall, there are quite a few causes for dry eye, including age, gender (women are more susceptible than men), certain medications, our environment, contact lens use, previous eye surgery and working on the computer. While there is no complete cure for dry eye, there are many tactics you can implement to help decrease the severity of symptoms such as; artificial tears, prescription eye drops, lid hygiene, Omega 3’s, and drinking more water while decreasing caffeine intake. These strategies often help keep you comfortable and seeing well. Schedule an appointment with the Dry Eye experts at Blaine Eye Clinic to determine the best treatment plan for you.
