What Is Dry Eye And How Does It Affect Me

By Dr. Hugh Steer


If your eye don't produce tears that means they are deficient in producing tears, which would cause discomfort and soreness and will most likely result in severe damages to the front part of the eyeball.

Eye health patients will often complain of a scratchy or abrasive feeling in their eye which could get worse in certain types of places, like for example in an office with dry air or in a mall where the air conditioning is blasting and even a place with the heat on too high. By making sure to get routine eye examinations, an eye doctor can identify redness and even ruined areas on the cornea, which would tell the doctor that their eyes are dry and not getting wetness from the tear film.

The initial procedure of managing completely dry eyes would be to have the patient using artificial eye drops, which are over the counter eye drops that are quickly and easily purchased. Individuals tend not to use eye drops consistently; they may put one drop in a day and wonder why it is not aiding. Depending on the extent of the disorder, dry eye sufferers should make use of as many as 5 or six amounts of synthetic eye drops throughout the day to obtain the desired result. Utilizing a humidifier to a completely dry office or home could likewise help minimize dry eye signs.

If none of these solutions help you can get punctal plugs. These are inserted by an optometrist in to the tear duct where the drops empty out of the eyes. This will help the tears stay in the eye as opposed to leaving the eye and should help the dryness. Lastly there is medication you can buy which are stronger, and would be reserved for people who really don't get any relief from other methods.

Dry eyes occurs because of the lack of tears which becomes very uncomfortable and can even do damage to your cornea. Either way, there is always a solution it's just a matter of being in touch with your optometrist.
