Dry eye syndrome or dry eye disease is a very common condition, not just in adults, but in kids as well. Most common is the evaporative type dry eye.
Symptoms: grittiness (foreign body sensation), excessive tearing, irritated eyes (mildly red/puffy), soreness, to name a few.
It can be caused by blockage of meibomian glands’ outlets (the gland that produce the oil component of our tears). The condition is called meibomian gland dysfunction.
To prevent this, do not direct vent of aircon or fan directly to your eyes or face for a long time. If you experience any of the symptoms of dry eye, consult your eye doctor.
