👁️ Tired, scratchy eyes? You might have Dry Eye Syndrome — and you're not alone.
Dry eyes aren’t just about feeling “a little dry.” They can burn, itch, water excessively (yes, paradoxically!), or feel like something’s always stuck in your eye. But what actually causes them?
🔍 Common Causes of Dry Eye:
💨 Environmental factors: Wind, air-conditioning, screen time, and heaters dry out your tear film.
📱 Digital strain: Blinking less while using screens reduces tear distribution.
🎯 Age & hormones: Common in people over 50, especially women.
👁️🗨️ Contact lenses: They can disrupt your eye’s natural moisture balance.
💊 Medications: Some allergy, acne, and blood pressure meds affect tear production.
🦠 Medical conditions: Autoimmune diseases (like Sjögren’s), diabetes, or eyelid problems.
✨ The good news? Dry eye is treatable — but only if diagnosed properly.
