What Is Dry Eye and Why Does It Occur?

Dry eye occurs when the tear film is disrupted, preventing the eye from maintaining essential moisture and protection. It leads to discomfort, stinging, and visual disturbances, negatively affecting overall eye health.

Causes

• Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): Blocked oil glands increase tear evaporation.
• Environmental Factors: Dry air, screens, and air conditioning.
• Aging: Natural decrease in tear production.
• Hormonal Changes: Especially during menopause.
• Medications: Antihistamines, antidepressants, blood pressure meds.
• Systemic Diseases: Sjögren’s syndrome, diabetes, and more.
