Dry Eye Specialist: Your Path to Refreshed Eyes
Imagine the comfort of a refreshing blink, only to find it brings discomfort. This is the tale of dry eye, a common issue for many. At ReFocus Eye Health in Danbury, we provide advanced solutions to ease dry eye symptoms.
Dry Eye: A Closer Look at The Condition
Dry eye syndrome (DES), or dry eye disease, is when your eyes struggle to maintain a healthy layer of tears. These tears are vital to lubricate your eyes, wash away debris, and provide a smooth surface for clear vision.
The common types of dry eye include:
- Evaporative Dry Eye: In this type, your tears evaporate too quickly due to an imbalance in your tear film’s oil (lipid) layer. This often stems from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), where your oil glands don’t produce enough quality oils.
- Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye: Here, your eyes don’t produce enough watery components of tears. This can be due to aging, certain medications, or diseases like Sjögren’s syndrome.
Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
Dry eye syndrome can manifest in various ways. Here are the typical signs to watch out for:
- Persistent dryness
- Grittiness or scratchiness
- Burning sensation
- Excessive tearing
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision
- Eye fatigue
- Difficulty wearing contacts
