Dry eye disease is a common condition that happens when your eyes don’t make enough tears or when your tears dry up too quickly. Tears are important because they keep your eyes moist, smooth, and help you see clearly. Without enough good-quality tears, your eyes can feel dry, itchy, tired, or irritated.
If dry eyes are not treated, they can lead to redness, blurry vision, and even damage the surface of your eyes. Things like too much screen time, windy weather, aging, or certain health problems can make dry eyes worse. The good news is that dry eye can be managed with the right care and treatment.
This type occurs when your tear glands don’t produce enough watery (aqueous) tears.
✅ Caused by aging, medications, or autoimmune diseases
✅ Leads to dry, gritty, and irritated eyes
✅ Often linked with Sjögren’s syndrome
This happens when tears evaporate too quickly due to poor tear film quality.
✅ Caused by Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
✅ Common in people with blepharitis or who use screens often
✅ Results in blurry vision and burning sensation
A combination of both aqueous deficiency and evaporative dry eye.
✅ Most common type of dry eye in patients
✅ Requires a personalized treatment plan
✅ Can include symptoms like eye fatigue and stinging
(caused by injury, medications, or other conditions)
✅ Linked to nerve damage, LASIK, or diabetes

✅ Needs specialized care to prevent complications
What causes this to happen is a deficiency in the lipid or oil layer of the tear film, which in most cases is caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
Tear production decreases naturally with age, especially after 50.
Staring at screens reduces blinking, causing tears to evaporate faster.
Wind, smoke, air conditioners, and heaters dry out your tear film.
Lack of Vitamin A can reduce tear quality and harm eye health.
Menopause, pregnancy, or birth control pills may affect tear balance.
Issues like diabetes, arthritis can lead to dryness.
Some medicines like antihistamines and antidepressants reduce tear flow.
Wearing lenses for long hours can reduce moisture and irritate the eyes.
LASIK and other surgeries may temporarily affect natural tear production.
