Dealing with dry eyes can be a daily challenge - the constant discomfort, the gritty sensation, and the paradoxical tearing up can make everyday tasks daunting. As a local Hackney-based optician, we understand the issues related to dry eyes and are committed to providing comprehensive solutions. Here's everything you need to know about this common, yet often overlooked, condition.
Understanding Dry Eyes
Dry eye syndrome is a condition characterized by a lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eyes. This can be caused by an imbalance in the tear system or due to environmental factors such as dry air, screen time, or age.
Common symptoms include:
- A stinging, burning, or scratchy sensation in the eyes
- Redness and fatigue in the eyes
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision or eye fatigue
- Feeling like something is in the eye
Despite its prevalence, dry eye syndrome often goes undiagnosed because many people dismiss the symptoms as temporary eye fatigue. However, untreated dry eyes can have severe consequences, including impaired vision.
