Managing Dry Eye: Causes and Relief

This post is also available in: العربية (Arabic)

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right quality of tears, leading to irritation, redness, or blurred vision. Common causes include aging, screen time, environmental factors, and certain medications. Persistent symptoms can interfere with daily comfort and should be evaluated by an eye specialist.

Treatment may involve artificial tears, prescription drops, or in-office procedures to improve tear film stability. Lifestyle adjustments—like staying hydrated, using humidifiers, and taking screen breaks—can also help. Identifying and addressing underlying causes is key to managing dry eye effectively and maintaining long-term eye health and comfort.
