DRY EYE THERAPY
Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes do not have proper hydration or nourishment.
Millions of people, young and old, are impacted by dry eye disease which can be extremely discomforting on a daily basis. If your eyes do not make quality tears to lubricate and nourish themselves, it can lead to uncomfortable symptoms and even chronic eye health conditions.
Dry eye disease is commonly caused by a lack of natural tear production or clogged oil glands within our eyelids. Common factors that contribute to this problem include:
-
Older age
-
Hormonal changes, more often in women than men
-
Less blinking when reading or using electronic devices for long periods of time
-
Certain health conditions such as auto-immune diseases
-
Certain medications
-
Environmental changes to air quality or climate
You may have dry eye disease if your eyes are:
RED
BURNING OR STINGING
ITCHY
SANDY OR GRITTY
TIRED AND HEAVY
TEARY OR WATERY
BLURRY AFTER BLINKING
