Dry eye occurs when the eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort and sometimes affecting vision. There are many reasons why dry eye can develop, ranging from environmental factors to health and lifestyle choices. Here are some common causes:
Common Causes of Dry Eye
Aging: Natural aging can reduce tear production over time.
Dry or Windy Environments: Environments with low humidity, wind, or pollutants can cause tears to evaporate quickly.
Extended Screen Use: Spending prolonged periods on phones or computers can reduce blink frequency, leading to dry eyes.
Health Conditions and Medications: Conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain medications (such as antihistamines) can decrease tear production.
Hormonal Changes: Women experiencing pregnancy, menopause, or using birth control may encounter dry eyes due to hormonal fluctuations.
Tips to Relieve Dry Eye
Use Artificial Tears: Lubricates the eyes.
Adjust Lifestyle Habits: Limit screen time and wear sunglasses outdoors in dry, windy conditions.
Regular Eye Exams: Routine check-ups can help identify specific causes and offer tailored treatment solutions.
