"Dry eye"...

Dry eye is a fairly common condition that occurs when the eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when the tears are of poor quality or evaporate too quickly. It affects the ocular surface due to a lack of lubrication and can cause vision problems.

Symptoms

Some of the symptoms of dry eyes are:

· Sensation of having “sand in the eyes.” · Itching in the eyes. · Redeyes . · Blurredvision that improves after blinking. · Tearing : Paradoxically, the eye tries to protect itself by producing tears as a reflex.

Your hydrated eyes, your happy look.

Main causes

·Age: Although it can occur at any age, the likelihood of developing dry eye increases with age and is more common in women.

·Hormonal changes: menopause, contraceptives, pregnancy…

· Environmental factors: wind, sun, dry air…

· Certain activities such as reading, writing, or working on a computer, since they reduce blinking and cause the tear film to evaporate more quickly.

·Medications: antihistamines, antidepressants, beta-blockers, diuretics…

·Certain eye surgeries.

·Wearing contact lenses.

·Certain systemic diseases (Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus…)

·Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids).

·Some scarring diseases affecting the ocular surface.

How can it be diagnosed?

Dry eye can be diagnosed by using specific dyes (fluorescein) to assess whether there is damage to the ocular surface and to calculate the time it takes for the tear film to “break up” (tear break-up time).

The amount of tears produced can also be calculated by using strips of paper left inside the lower eyelid for a few minutes (Schirmer test).
