Why eyes feel dry
Dry eye happens when the tears do not keep the surface of the eye moist. Often the oil glands in the eyelids (meibomian glands) are blocked, so tears evaporate too fast. Long screen hours, air conditioning, contact lenses and age all make it worse.
Your dry eye assessment
- Questions about your symptoms, screen use and medicines
- Examination of your tear film, eyelids and oil glands
- Tests of how quickly your tears break up
Treatment options
- Everyday habits: screen breaks, blinking, and avoiding air blowing on your face
- Lubricating drops chosen for your type of dry eye
- Eyelid hygiene: warm compresses and lid cleaning
- IPL (E-Eye): gentle pulses of light on the skin below the eyes help the oil glands work again. A course is usually a few short sessions a few weeks apart.
