DRY EYE SYNDROME

If your eyes don’t produce enough tears or

if your tears evaporate too quickly, you may have dry eye syndrome.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms, which usually affect both eyes, may include:

A stinging, burning or scratchy sensation in your eyes
Stringy mucus in or around your eyes
Sensitivity to light
Eye redness
A sensation of having something in your eyes
Difficulty wearing contact lenses
Difficulty with nighttime driving
Watery eyes, which is the body’s response to the irritation of dry eyes
Blurred vision or eye fatigue

Stages of Dry Eyes

There are three main stages of dry eyes: the early stage, the moderate stage, and the severe stage.

The early stage is characterized by dryness and irritation that is intermittent and usually not too severe. This is often caused by environmental factors such as wind, dust, or dry air.
The moderate stage involves dryness and irritation that is more constant and often severe. This is often caused by medical conditions such as dry eye syndrome, blepharitis, or meibomian gland dysfunction.
The severe stage involves chronic dry eye with painful degenration and vision problems. This is often caused by medical conditions such as Sjogren’s syndrome or Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

CAUSES

Dry eye happens when:

Your eyes don’t produce enough tears.
Your tears evaporate too quickly.
Both of these happen together.

RISK FACTORS

People who are pregnant, on hormone replacement therapy, or going through menopause also have a higher risk. The following underlying conditions can also increase your risk:

chronic allergies
exposure to the wind or dry air, such as constant exposure to a heater during the winter
allergies
LASIK eye surgery
some medications, including antihistamines, nasal decongestants, birth control pills, and antidepressants
long-term contact lens wear
not blinking enough
thyroid disease or other conditions that push the eyes forward
lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other immune system disorders
exposure keratitis, which occurs from sleeping with your eyes partially open or from medical conditions like facial nerve palsy or having eyelids that are turned out, causing exposure of your cornea
vitamin A deficiency, which is unlikely if you get sufficient nutrition

Some believe that too much exposure to the blue light emitted from computer screens can contribute to dry eye syndrome.
