What Are Dry Eyes?

Dry eyes occur when your eyes don’t produce enough moisture or the right quality of tears.

  • Not Enough Tears: Your eyes need a healthy amount of tears to stay comfortable and hydrated. When they don't produce enough, dryness occurs.
  • Tear Quality Issues: It’s not just about the quantity of tears; their quality matters too. If your tears don’t have the right balance, they won’t properly protect and moisturise your eyes.
  • How It Feels: Dry eyes can feel like sand in your eyes, cause a burning sensation, or make your vision blurry, like looking through a foggy window. Bright lights may also irritate your eyes more than usual.

What makes it worse?

Several factors can contribute to dry eyes:

  • Prolonged screen time (computers, phones, tablets)
  • Air conditioning and environmental dryness
  • Aging, which reduces tear production
  • Certain medications that cause dry eyes (e.g., allergy medications or blood pressure pills)

Common Causes of Dry Eyes: What’s Happening to Your Eyes?

    • Oil Gland Problems: The Meibomian glands in your eyelids produce oils that help prevent your tears from evaporating. When these glands get clogged, your tears evaporate too quickly, causing dryness.
    • Eyelid Inflammation: Irritated or inflamed eyelids can affect your tear production and cause discomfort, redness, or crusting near your lashes.
    • Autoimmune Disorders: Sometimes, autoimmune conditions affect your tear production, causing persistent dryness.
    • Environmental Factors: Exposure to dry air, wind, or long hours in front of a screen can contribute to dry eyes.
    • Age-Related Changes: As you age, tear production naturally decreases, leading to drier eyes.
    • Contact Lens Use: Wearing contact lenses can sometimes lead to dryness, as the lenses may hinder the natural moisture on the surface of your eyes.
