Dry eye is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It is also the most common cause of ocular surface disease, which can lead to serious complications.
Dry eye is a very common condition that causes discomfort and sometimes pain. It can be caused by external factors such as air pollution, wind and smoke, but it can also be related to medical conditions such as thyroid problems or diabetes.
The dry eyes are usually treated with artificial tears and lubricating drops. Artificial tears help in lubricating the eyes and restoring their natural moisture content. They also help to heal damaged corneal cells, which reduces the risk of infection or scarring.
A large number of studies conducted across the world have reported that almost every 4th person has some symptoms of dry eye. So if you notice dryness of eyes or excessive watering, grittiness and redness etc., it is possible that you might be suffering from the condition.
Because of the wide variety of causes and symptoms associated with dry eyes, it is often under diagnosed and under investigated. Patients usually resort to over the counter tear substitutes. Though these provide symptomatic relief, the symptoms recur as soon as the treatment is terminated.
For these reasons, it’s important to investigate and diagnose the causative factor leading to such symptoms to refine our current management of dry eye.
