Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome
Summary
Dry eye syndrome is a prevalent condition that can significantly impact your daily life, causing discomfort and visual disturbances. If you're in Pembroke Pines, FL, and experiencing symptoms like eye dryness, burning, or blurred vision, MedEye Associates' new location at 600 N. Hiatus Rd, Suite 211, is here to provide expert care and relief.
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This condition can lead to inflammation and damage to the eye’s surface. There are two primary types:
- Evaporative Dry Eye: Caused by blockage of the meibomian glands in the eyelids, leading to rapid tear evaporation.
- Aqueous Dry Eye: Results from inadequate tear production by the lacrimal glands.
Common symptoms include:
- Itching or burning sensations
- Redness and irritation
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurry vision
- Excessive tearing
These symptoms can interfere with activities like reading, driving, or using digital devices.
