ry-eye-treatment-and- management/ About US Dry
eye disease is a complex condition associated
with a wide variety of individual, environmental
and disease-related factors. It is affecting the
tears and ocular surface resulting in symptoms of
discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film
instability, with potential damage to the ocular
surface. The tear film of the eye consists of
three layers oil (produced by meibomian glands
at the edges of the eyelids near the eyelashes),
water (produced by the lacrimal glands under the
eyebrow), and mucus (produced by conjunctival
glands on the white of the eye). Each serves its
own purpose. The disruption of the oily layer
will cause Evaporative Dry Eye Disease, which is
the most common type. The disruption of the
watery layer would cause Aqueous deficiency and
Dry Eye Disease. When patients dont produce
enough tears in one of two layers it can become
very symptomatic and debilitating. Symptoms
Common symptoms of Dry Eye Disease are itching,
redness, burning, tearing, blurry vision, ocular
fatigue, and even headaches. Some patients
mention foreign body sensations and some say they
cannot keep their eyes open for very long. People
who work long hours at a computer blink much less
than should, which causes disruption of the tear
film and quicker tear evaporation. All these
symptoms may be very painful and debilitating in
our daily lives. Causes There are multiple
factors that affect tear production. Older age(
women affected more than men), smoking, contact
lens wear, environmental irritants such as dry
air, smoke, air conditioning, heating all
contribute to worsening Dry Eye Disease.

• Some autoimmune diseases such as Lupus and
  Rheumatoid arthritis affect tear secretion that
  leads to inflammatory Dry Eye Disease. Diseases
  such as Diabetes and Herpes Zoster are associated
  with decreased corneal sensation that causes to
  produce less tears. A skin condition such as
  Rosacea is a common one to affect eyelids and
  production of the oily part of the tear film. A
  wide variety of common medications, both
  prescription and over-the-counter, can cause dry
  eye by reducing tear production.

  treating Dry Eye Disease is to evaluate and
