Dry Eye Treatment at Smart Vision Optometry

Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or the right quality of tears to keep the surface of your eyes adequately lubricated. Symptoms can include dryness, irritation, redness, and blurred vision.

Causes of Dry Eye

Several factors can contribute to dry eye syndrome, including:

  • Age: Tear production tends to decrease with age.
  • Medications: Certain medications can reduce tear production.
  • Medical Conditions: Conditions like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to dry eyes.
  • Environmental Factors: Exposure to wind, smoke, or dry air can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
  • Screen Time: Prolonged screen time can reduce blinking and tear production.
