DRY EYES AND OCULAR AESTHETICS

what is dry eyes?

Dry eyes is one of the most common and oftentimes frustrating conditions to experience. Dry eye disease is a condition that results in the inflammation of the eye and the tear-producing glands. This inflammation decreases the eye’s ability to produce normal tears that protect the eye from irritation and keep it moisturized and lubricated.

DRY EYE DISEASE SYMPTOMS:

❑ Watery Eyes

❑ Burning, gritty, sandy

❑ Itching

❑ Eye fatigue and tiredness

❑ Feeling like vision is shifty or blurry

❑ Feeling like your eyes are not producing tears

❑ Feeling the need to use artificial tears

Causes of dry eyes: 

❑ Medications (antihistamines, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, etc.) 

❑ Medical conditions (Sjogren's, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) 

❑ Contact Lens wear and history of LASIK 

❑ Environmental conditions such as exposure to wind, allergens, smoke, low humidity levels
