What Is It & What Causes It?
Why Does Dry Eye Keep Coming Back?
Dry eye isn't always caused by a lack of tears. Problems with the oil glands along your eyelids can cause tears to evaporate too quickly, while inflammation and other conditions can also contribute.
That's why finding the cause matters.
Triggers of Dry Eye.
Reduced blink rate caused by long periods of time in front of a screen
Certain medications, including antihistamines
LASIK or cataract removal surgery
Wearing contact lenses
Living in a dry climate
Aging
⚠️ Left untreated, dry eye can lead to chronic discomfort, a higher risk of infection, and even long-term vision damage.
