How Dry Eye and Glaucoma Are Connected?
Many people with glaucoma also experience dry eye because:
-Preservatives in glaucoma drops can irritate the eye surface
-Multiple daily drops increase surface inflammation
-Long-term use can reduce tear quality and quantity
This can make eyes feel uncomfortable and even make glaucoma drops harder to tolerate. Schedule an appointment with our Doctor to learn more about your eye care.
