Dry Eye Disease
Specialized Dry Eye Disease Treatment in RI – Restoring Comfort and Clarity.
Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears, or when they produce tears that are of poor quality and evaporate too quickly. Healthy tears are essential for lubricating, nourishing, and protecting the surface of the eye. Inadequate tear production can lead to discomfort, blurry vision, and an increased risk of eye infections.
This tear film is made up of three important layers:Lipid (oil) layer – helps prevent evaporation
Aqueous (water) layer – hydrates and nourishes the eye
Mucous layer – ensures even tear distribution across the cornea
Causes of Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye can be caused by a variety of factors, including age (especially in individuals over 40), medications (such as antihistamines, blood pressure medications and antidepressants) and certain medical conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and thyroid disease.) Additionally, environmental conditions including exposure to wind, heat and dry indoor air can lead to developing dry eye disease. Prolonged computer use or reading, which reduces blinking frequency, also contributes to dry eye disease.
