Dry Eye

If you are experiencing symptoms like itching, blurry vision, stinging, redness, pain, or a gritty sensation in your eyes, you may be suffering from dry eye syndrome.

Chronic dry eye can be quite uncomfortable and may be triggered by various factors, including certain medications (like antidepressants), allergies, and hormonal changes associated with menopause.

The most common treatment is the use of artificial tears (eye drops). In more severe cases, medication eye drops or procedures can be performed to temporarily or permanently close the tear ducts, helping to keep the eyes moist for longer.
