Eye Dryness

Eye Dryness Treatment in Gurgaon

Dry eye is a condition when eye tears provide inadequate lubrication to enrich the eyes. Eye tears can generally become insufficient or unstable for several reasons. It includes an insufficient amount of eye tears that are required for the proper and healthy functioning of the eyes. To properly assess dry eyes, one must have a thorough knowledge of the symptoms, signs, causes, diagnostic tests and treatments to be able to provide patient-based solutions and assistance for proper eye health

Symptoms of Dry Eyes:

Dry eyes usually tend to affect both eyes and they can be easily recognised through the following symptoms:

Stinging or burning sensation
Urge to keep scratching the eyes
Stringy mucus within or around eye areas
Increased sensitivity to light
Red eyes
A sensation of an obstruction in the eye
Difficulty in wearing contact lenses
Difficulty in driving during nights
Watery eyes
Blurred vision
Eye fatigue

Causes of Dry Eyes:

Some very common factors that contribute to dry eyes might include:

Certain diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease and lupus can cause dry eyes,
Blepharitis is a condition in which the eyes turn swollen or red.
Entropion, where the eyelids turn inward
Ectropion, where the eyelids turn outward
Being in a windy or a very dry climate
Usage of digital devices for a long time or without blinking
Regular usage of contact lenses
Certain medications like anxiety medication, heartburn medicine, allergy or cold medicine can also cause dry eye.
Vitamin A deficiency
Ageing

Subtypes of Dry Eyes:

Dry eyes can be classified into two subtypes, namely:

Aqueous Deficiency: Aqueueous deficiency occurs when the lacrimal glands produce very little aqueous humor (transparent eye fluid). This causes eye dryness and it accounts for only a tenth of dry eye disease.

Lipid Defects: Also known as evaporative dry eye, this occurs due to a deficient tear flim lipid layer, which causes an increase in tear evaporation. This accounts for 85% of diagnoses of dry eye disease.

Diagnosis of Dry Eyes:

To diagnose dry eyes, our ophthalmologist performs comprehensive eye examinations or tests to measure the quality of eye tears secreted by lacrimal glands. They might also look into the medical history or take samples of eye tears to look for markers of a dry eye condition.

Treatment for Dry Eyes:

Dry eyes can easily be treated through the following treatment procedures:

Medication can be effective in treating dry eye, which includes tear-stimulating medicines and medicines to reduce eyelid inflammation.
Eye drops
Nasal spray to stimulate eye tears
Special contact lenses
Light therapy
Eyelid massage
Some home remedies might include applying a warm washcloth to the eyes.
