Your eyes need constant moisture and lubrication from your tears. Tears combine water for moisture, oils for lubrication, mucus for even spreading, antibodies and special proteins for resistance to infection. When the tiny glands around the eye malfunction, dry eyes result. Dry eyes may cause: - Eye pain
- Itching and redness
- Blurred vision
- Light sensitivity
- Feelings of a foreign body, grit or sand in the eye
There is no cure for dry eyes, but effective dry eye treatment is available in several forms, including: Artificial tears and ointments – The primary dry eye treatment. You can buy artificial teardrops over the counter. You might have to experiment to find the one that works best for you. If you have chronic dry eye, it is important to use the drops even when your eyes feel fine, to keep them lubricated. If your eyes dry out while you sleep, you can use a thicker lubricant, such as an ointment, at night. Know more at https://www.brazosporteye.com/our-vision-services/dry-eye-syndrome/
