Dry Eye Clinic

 Dry Eye can cause a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms, which can vary in severity. Common symptoms include:

• Dry, gritty, irritated, red, stinging eyes  
• Foreign body sensation
• Tired eyes 
• Blurry vision that fluctuates during the day
• Light sensitivity 
• Watery eyes
• Intolerance to contact lenses wear 

Dry Eye is a multifactorial disease, meaning it can result from a combination of factors that disrupt the delicate balance of your tear system. It typically occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears (aqueous deficient), or the tear film is of poor quality and is unstable (evaporative). In many cases, Dry Eye is caused by a combination of both, where an imbalance in tear production and stability triggers a cycle of inflammation and further damage.

Common causes of Dry Eye include aging, environmental factors, prolonged screen time, and certain medications. It is also strongly linked to eyelid conditions like blepharitis (eyelid inflammation) and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which impact the oil glands in the eyelids and compromise the tear film. Additionally, hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, and allergies can worsen symptoms, making Dry Eye a complex and multifactorial condition that requires tailored care by an eye health professional.
