Before we can start discussing what may be causing your dry eye symptoms, we first need to understand what your tear film is and how it comforts your eyes. Your tear film is a layer of tears that covers your eye surface. The tear film is responsible for keeping your eyes feeling hydrated and comfortable, while also protecting them from foreign particles. There are 3 distinct layers to your tear film, each with its own role and ingredient. The Mucus Layer The mucus layer is the innermost layer of your tear film. It’s responsible for keeping the rest of the tear film fastened to your eye. The Watery Layer The Oil Layer DRY EYE CAUSES Several factors may cause a tear film imbalance, including: Allergies Prolonged screen time Aging Hormone changes Certain medications Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) Blepharitis Environmental conditions Extended contact lens use Autoimmune diseases DRY EYE SYMPTOMS If you’re developing dry eyes, you may experience: Mucus in or around your eyes Light sensitivity Red eyes Contact lenses difficulties Blurry vision Eye fatigue A burning sensation in the eyes TREATMENT TECHNIQUES Managing and treating dry eyes depends entirely on what may be causing your symptoms.
