Understanding the Causes of Dry Eye

 

Dry eye is a condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. There are several factors that can contribute to this condition, including environmental factors, certain medications, and aging. Environmental factors such as dry or windy climates, air conditioning, and excessive screen time can all worsen dry eye symptoms. Additionally, certain medications like antihistamines, decongestants, and diuretics can decrease tear production. Aging is also a common cause of dry eye, as tear production naturally decreases as we get older.
 

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and blepharitis are two common conditions that can contribute to the development of dry eye. MGD occurs when the meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of tears, become blocked or dysfunctional. This can lead to an inadequate amount of oil in the tears, causing them to evaporate too quickly. Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids that can disrupt the normal functioning of the meibomian glands.
