What causes dry eyes?
-
Aging: As we age, our tear production naturally decreases, making us more susceptible to dry eyes.
​
-
Environmental Factors: Dry and windy climates, as well as exposure to smoke and air conditioning, can lead to increased evaporation of tears.
​
-
Medical Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid disorders can contribute to dry eyes.
​
-
Medications: Some medications, including antihistamines, decongestants, and antidepressants, can reduce tear production.
​
-
Digital Screen Usage: Extended use of computers and digital devices can reduce the frequency of blinking, which is necessary for spreading tears across the eye's surface.
