Prevalence of Dry Eye:
Dry eye is a prevalent condition characterized by insufficient tear production, leading to discomfort, irritation, and potential harm to the eyes’ surface.
Causes of Dry Eyes:
Factors contributing to decreased tear production include aging, medical conditions (thyroid disorders, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, PCOD), vitamin D deficiency, post-eye surgeries (Lasik, cataract procedures), and modern lifestyle aspects (increased screen time, reduced blinking, eyelid issues, air-conditioned environments).
Recognizing Dry Eye Symptoms:
Symptoms of dry eye may include stinging, burning, or scratchy sensations in the eyes, stringy mucus, light sensitivity, redness, foreign object sensation, difficulty wearing contact lenses, challenges with night driving, blurred vision, or eye fatigue.
Lifestyle Changes for Management:
Implementing the 20-20-20 rule during screen time, avoiding direct blowing air, wearing protective eyewear, quitting smoking, and using artificial tears regularly are recommended lifestyle adjustments to alleviate dry eye symptoms and promote eye health.
While lifestyle changes may help manage symptoms, seeking advice from an eye specialist is essential for proper diagnosis and effective treatment.
The frequency of artificial tear use may vary based on symptoms and severity. Consulting an eye specialist can help determine the appropriate usage schedule.
