Dry Eye
Healthy Eyes, Beautiful Vision.
Dry eye disease is a common condition characterized by a chronic lack of sufficient moisture on the eye’s surface leading to irritation, discomfort, and potential vision problems. This condition can arise from various factors including reduced tear production, increased tear evaporation or an imbalance in the tear composition. Symptoms often include a gritty or burning sensation, redness and excessive tearing as the eyes try to compensate for the dryness. Effective management involves identifying the underlying cause and employing treatments such as artificial tears, lifestyle adjustments or medications to restore comfort and protect eye health. Regular eye exams are essential for diagnosing and addressing dry eye disease to enhance quality of life and prevent complications.
