What Causes Dry Eye?
Chronic dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly. This can result from:
- Ageing
- Long hours on screens
- Dry climates or indoor environments
- Certain medications
- Contact lens use
- Underlying health conditions
One of the most common causes is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). When these tiny oil glands in your eyelids become blocked, your tears can evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation and dryness.
Symptoms of Dry Eye
Dry eye symptoms can vary from person to person, but may include:
- Burning or stinging
- A gritty or sandy sensation
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Red or irritated eyes
- Light sensitivity
- Watery eyes (a response to dryness)
Symptoms may be worse at the end of the day or after reading, driving, or screen use.
