What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye is a common eye condition that affects millions of people. Dry Eye, or Dry Eye Syndrome, (DES), is most prevalent in older people and is a normal part of the aging process. While the condition is typically due to aging, exposure to environmental irritants, an injury to the eye, and other health issues such as diabetes, thyroid deficiencies, autoimmune disorders such as Sjogren’s Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Bell’s Palsy, Myasthenia Gravis and HIV can also bring on the condition.
Dry eye is as its name implies, is the eye’s inability to stay lubricated and to tear correctly. There is even a form of dry eye where the individual experiences excessive tearing due to the pH of their tears being altered. While producing tears, the individual feels as if their eyes are dry and itchy. Depending on the severity of a patient’s dry eye condition, there are a number of common medications that can be used to keep the eye’s properly lubricated such as:
• Antihistamines
• Antidepressants
• Blood Pressure Meds
• Decongestants
• Anti-Anxiety Meds
Major Types of Dry Eye Syndrome
There are two major types of dry eye syndrome:
Evaporative Dry Eye
This version of dry eye syndrome is caused by a condition known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). With this condition, the glands that produce the outer layer of tears fail to function properly, and for this reason the patient’s tears evaporate too quickly.
Aqueous Deficiency
With this version of dry eye syndrome the patient’s tear glands fail to produce enough moisture to properly lubricate the eye, and as a result the eyes suffer from discomfort.
