Dry eye disease is one of the most common ophthalmic conditions in the modern
world. It occurs when the surface of the eye is not adequately moisturized, leading to
symptoms such as irritation, burning, dryness, and blurry vision.
Possible causes include:
- Prolonged use of computers or mobile screens
- Hormonal changes
- Certain medications (antihistamines, antidepressants, acne treatments, contraceptives)
- Environmental factors (dry air, air conditioning)
Treatment may involve: regular use of artificial tears, anti-inflammatory eye drops, or
special procedures such as Meibomian gland stimulation. A doctor’s consultation is
essential for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
