Why dry eyes are not “just dryness”⁉️
If eye drops no longer help, this is an important signal.
Most likely, it’s not temporary discomfort, but Dry Eye Syndrome.
Dry eye is a chronic inflammatory condition, not just a lack of tears💧
In most cases, the root of the problem lies in the meibomian glands - they are responsible for the stability of the tear film.
Eye drops may temporarily moisturize the surface of the eye, but they do not treat the underlying cause❌
Without proper treatment, inflammation persists and symptoms gradually worsen: burning, redness, a gritty sensation, and light sensitivity.
As a doctor, I often see patients who have been using eye drops daily for years - and unfortunately, their condition only gets worse.
It’s important not to mask the symptoms, but to identify and treat the cause.
