Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms & Relief at Sood Eye Care
Dry Eye Syndrome is one of the most common eye conditions affecting people worldwide, yet it often goes undiagnosed. It happens when your eyes either don’t make enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Tears are essential to keep your eyes lubricated, healthy, and free from dust or infections. Without proper lubrication, the eyes feel irritated, and in severe cases, vision can also be affected.
At Sood Eye Care, Jalandhar, we understand how disruptive dry eye can be in your daily life. Our specialists provide advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatments to help you find lasting relief.
Causes of Dry Eye
There are several reasons why dry eye develops. The most common include:
- Aging: Tear production decreases with age.
- Screen Time: Prolonged use of computers and mobiles reduces blinking, leading to dryness.
- Environmental Factors: Pollution, smoke, wind, or air-conditioned rooms can worsen the condition.
- Medications: Certain drugs for allergies, blood pressure, or depression can reduce tear secretion.
- Eye Surgeries or Contact Lenses: LASIK and long-term contact lens wear may cause dryness.
Symptoms to Watch Out For
Dry eye symptoms can range from mild to severe. You may experience:
- Burning, stinging, or itching
- Redness and watery eyes
- A gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
If these symptoms persist, visiting an eye specialist is essential.
