Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, discomfort, and potential vision issues. At Doctor Misurya Netralaya, we provide comprehensive management for dry eyes to improve comfort and eye health.
Causes of Dry Eye Syndrome
- Age: Tear production decreases with age.
- Environmental Factors: Dry, windy, or smoky conditions can lead to evaporation of tears.
- Health Conditions: Autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and hormonal changes can contribute to dry eyes.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as antihistamines or blood pressure drugs, may reduce tear production.
Treatment Options
- Artificial Tears: Lubricating eye drops that provide temporary relief.
- Prescription Medications: Medicines like cyclosporine A (Restasis) or lifitegrast (Xiidra) to increase tear production.
- Punctal Plugs: Tiny devices inserted into the tear ducts to block drainage and help retain moisture on the eye’s surface.
- Scleral Lenses: Specialized contact lenses that trap moisture and provide a protective barrier to the cornea.
