Dry Eye Causes & Treatment
There are two main causes of dry eye syndrome: either the eyes don't produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. This causes the eyes to have too little moisture to function comfortably.
Several factors can cause this, including dysfunction of the tear glands, allergies, aging, medication side effects, hormonal changes and certain illnesses.
By thoroughly diagnosing the root cause of your dry eye, your Palm Beach Gardens eye doctor will determine which treatments and medications to prescribe in order to increase the volume and quality of the tears you produce.
What Are the Most Common Causes of Dry Eye?
Other causes include dry air, indoor heating, poor tear quality and dehydration.

FAQ's
Can dry eye syndrome cause blindness?
Dry eye disease might not seem like an emergency, but if it's severe and not treated it can damage your cornea and result in vision loss and even blindness in rare cases. The right treatment can help prevent these complications.
Can I wear contact lenses if I have dry eye syndrome?
Wearing contact lenses can be very uncomfortable if your eyes are chronically dry. Ask your Palm Beach Gardens eye doctor about specialized contact lenses that can be worn comfortably with dry eye syndrome.
Can dry eye disease be cured?
Dry eye syndrome is a long-term and often progressive condition. There is no permanent cure for dry eyes. However, it can be managed with proper care. Treatment may include over-the-counter or prescription eye drops, tear-stimulating medications, eye compresses and in-office treatments.
Is there a link between dry eye, asthma and allergies?
Studies have shown that people who have asthma and/or allergies have a greater risk of developing dry eye symptoms than their non-asthmatic/allergic peers. Oral antihistamines and inhaled corticosteroids appear to be one reason, but researchers are investigating other possible causes.
Be sure to inform your eye doctor about your asthma, allergies, and any other health conditions, as well as the medications you take.
