How does one get it? Dry Eyes occur when the glands around our eyes produce too little tears on its surface. The tears are needed to maintain adequate lubrication and protection for our eyes. As a result, our eyes become uncomfortable as it is easily subjected to irritants.

What are the symptoms of dry eyes then? Common symptoms include the following:

1. Burning and stinging sensation that is may worse by air-conditioned room or windy surroundings.

2. Redness

3. Itching

4. Excessive tearing

5. Sensitivity to bright light

6. Scratchiness and grittiness

7. Intermittent blurring of vision, restored by blinking.

There are several ways to treat dry eyes.

Artificial Tears And Ointments

For most patients, dry eyes can be relieved through the use of artificial tears that can be purchased at pharmacy. In severe cases, a preservative free ocular lubricant is preferred.

Punctal Plugging

Special plugs can be used to trap our tears that drain out of the eye and into the nose through a small passage.
