Dry eye may not seem like a very serious vision condition, but it sure is uncomfortable. You often have a hard time focusing at work due to the symptoms. Even relaxing at home with a movie with the family is tough for you.
If you haven’t already, you might want to consider seeing an eye doctor in Winchester for dry eye care.
Dry eye symptoms begin when your eyes don’t get enough moisture. Your eyes may have a hard time producing tears in adequate quantities. Conditions like dysfunctional tear syndrome, Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, and Keratitis Sicca are often associated with dry eye syndrome.
Mucin (or mucous), aqueous substance (water), and lipids (oil) constitute regular, healthy tears. If you lack any of these three substances, tear production may lessen or change in other ways. This can cause painful dry eye. Here are some other causes to be aware of:
If you have noticed one or more of the following, you could have dry eye:
Once your optometrist diagnoses you with dry eye, they can then treat you. Managing dry eye is often about making lifestyle changes more than anything else. For instance, you might limit how often you spend time on your phone or on the computer.
Medical treatments for dry eye include prescription eye medications and/or artificial tears. By combining medication with the lifestyle changes above, you should find you don’t get dry eye pain nearly as often.
If you’re dealing with the pain and discomfort associated with dry eye, don’t wait another day for the optometry treatment you need. Here at Winchester Optical, your optometrist in the Winchester area, we can get you some relief from dry eye symptoms.
