Dry eye syndrome can manifest in various ways. Identifying these symptoms is the first step toward effective treatment.
Dry eye syndrome can result from various factors. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment.
Tear production naturally decreases with age, making dry eye more common in adults over 50, especially women after menopause due to hormonal changes.
Certain autoimmune disorders like Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and thyroid disorders can contribute to dry eye symptoms.
Many medications can reduce tear production, including antihistamines, decongestants, antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and hormone replacement therapy.
Exposure to wind, smoke, dry air, and excessive sun can accelerate tear evaporation. Air conditioning, heating, and low humidity environments also contribute to dry eye.
Extended screen time reduces blink rate by up to 60%, leading to increased tear evaporation. This "digital eye strain" is increasingly common in our technology-focused world.
These oil-producing glands along the eyelid margin can become blocked, leading to evaporative dry eye, the most common form of dry eye syndrome.
