Exploring Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eyes are no fun to deal with and put a halt to your productivity. Dry eye syndrome is a vision condition that can occur when your eyes don’t produce enough tears to stay hydrated or something has gone wrong with the tear production process.

A Closer Look at Dry Eye Causes & Symptoms
Dry eye symptoms can occur from various causes such as:
- The normal aging process
- Exposure to certain environmental conditions
- Hormonal changes
- Digital eye strain
Tear instability can also lead to dry eyes due to inflammation. Your tears are comprised of 3 layers:
- The oily outer layer
- The watery middle layer
- The inner mucus layer
If the glands that produce these elements in your tears become inflamed or are not producing tears properly, dry eye syndrome can occur. This inflammation can also cause meibomian gland dysfunction, which clogs the small glands in your eyelids that produce the oily outer layer of your tears.
Some common signs and symptoms of dry eye syndrome can include:
- A burning feeling or feeling something foreign in your eye
- Stinging or gritty feeling in your eye
- Scratchy and uncomfortable eyes
- Fluctuating vision
