The most common questions asked by patients to their eye doctors.

Dry eye is a condition that occurs when your eyes don't receive enough tears or the tears don't work properly. Symptoms include a burning, dry, or scratchy feeling, blurry vision, red eyes, and sensitivity to light.

Dry eyes can be caused by a number of factors, including:

  • Age-related dehydration
  • Environmental factors like dry climate
  • Prolonged computer use
  • Overuse of contact lenses
  • Medications
  • Autoimmune conditions like lupus or Sjögren syndrome

Dry eyes can be temporary or chronic. If caused by environmental factors or medications, symptoms may improve or go away when the cause is addressed. However, chronic dry eyes may never go away completely.

Treatments for dry eyes include:

Lifestyle changes like taking breaks from screens, blinking consciously, and maintaining good eyelid hygiene

Prescription medications

Environmental modifications like using a humidifier and wearing wraparound glasses

Artificial tears, gels, or ointments

Nutritional supplements like omega-3 fatty acids

You should see a doctor if you have prolonged signs and symptoms of dry eyes.

When a problem occurs within the drainage system, and the eye’s natural drain becomes clogged, the fluid builds up in the eye, and consequently causes a buildup of pressure within the eye.
