What is dry eye?
Dry eye syndrome is a common, chronic condition linked to the age and living conditions of the patient. Depending on its cause and severity, it may not be completely curable, but there are many alternatives to cope with the associated discomfort. At Clínica Nivaria we tell you how we can help you!
How to know if you have Dry Eye?
People suffering from Dry Eye syndrome can suffer from subtle eye irritation constantly, to significant inflammation and even scars on the front surface of the eye.
If you have any of the following sensations or symptoms you may suffer from Dry Eye: red eyes; eye fatigue or blurred vision; light sensitivity; difficulty wearing contact lenses; difficulty driving at night; prick, burning or itching sensation in the eyes; viscous mucus in or around the eyes; foreign body sensation in eyes and watery eyes.
What are the causes of having Dry Eye?
Dry eye syndrome is caused by a chronic lack of sufficient moisture, lubrication or tears on the surface of the eye. Tears help keep the surface of the eyes lubricated, smooth and clean due to its complex mixture of water, fatty oils and mucus.
Decreased tear production, increased tear evaporation and imbalances in their composition are common causes of Dry Eye in many patients.
What are the symptoms of Dry Eye?
In general, ocular dryness is associated with the absence of the tear layer, either by insufficient tear production or excessive tear evaporation.
Suffering from Dry Eye produces alterations in vision, burning sensation, stinging or foreign body in the eye. If the process is accelerated, the discomfort becomes permanent, resulting in a paradoxical and excessive secretion of tears.
Dry Eye can cause anatomical changes; atrophy of the orifices of the Meibomian glands triggering in episodes of infection such as styes, cysts, conjunctiva infections, and in severe cases microlacerations in the corneal epithelium. Therefore it is very important to go to ophthalmological control at least once a year to avoid possible complications
What to do to avoid the Dry Eye?
To prevent the onset of Dry Eye Syndrome, special attention should be paid to the situations that cause it and subsequently avoid them to avoid its symptoms. As an example we can specify the following recommendations:
- Use artificial tears periodically.
- Place the computer screen below eye level.
