Common signs and symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Irritation in eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Itchy or burning sensation in eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light sensitivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stringy mucus in or around your eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blurry vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Redness in eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A gritty feeling &#8211; sensation of having something in eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watery eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tired eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty wearing contact lenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty with night driving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See a trusted ophthalmologist if any of the above signs and symptoms persists. Dry eye syndrome may have some unexpected consequences, especially if you are unaware of the problem and do not get any treatment for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Eye_Risks\"><\/span>Dry Eye Risks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with severe dry eyes may experience some complications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compromised quality of life<\/strong><br>Even simple routine activities like reading may seem&nbsp; challenging. There may be discomfort all the time.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased infection risk<\/strong><br>It is your tears that shield your eye\u2019s surface from infection. Risk of eye infection may rise when tears are not enough.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corneal damage<\/strong><br>Severe dry eyes can harm the outer surface of the eye. The condition may also lead to eye inflammation, scratches on the corneal surface, corneal ulcers, and loss of vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Eye_Syndrome_Treatment\"><\/span>Dry Eye Syndrome Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears are essential for eye health and comfort. Not only do they keep your eyes hydrated but also remove debris. If left untreated, dry eye syndrome can damage your cornea and in severe cases, it could also result in vision loss. Hence, it is necessary to <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/how-your-eye-doctor-can-help-treat-dry-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seek treatment<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several treatment options that may help relieve your symptoms. Your eye doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment depending on the severity of your symptoms. They will also take into account the underlying causes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Home_Remedies\"><\/span>1. Home Remedies&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have mild symptoms, your ophthalmologist may advise some natural treatment for dry eyes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Avoiding_Environmental_Triggers\"><\/span>&#8211; Avoiding Environmental Triggers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It could be anything that gives you dry eyes. Examples include wind, pollen, heat, sunlight, allergens, cigarette smoke, etc. You can try wearing&nbsp; protective glasses when outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Using_a_Humidifier_in_Your_Home\"><\/span>&#8211; Using a Humidifier in Your Home&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humidity levels could be low (below 25%) at your place. It could happen because of your air-conditioning or heating system. It could worsen your dry eye symptoms. Installing a humidifier could prove effective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Placing_Warm_Compresses_on_Your_Eyes\"><\/span>&#8211; Placing Warm Compresses on Your Eyes&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases of dry eye syndrome, particularly those caused due to MGD (Meibomian Glands Dysfunction), leaving a simple heat mask on your eyes for about 10 minutes can be beneficial. These heat masks are readily available at pharmacy stores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Giving_Rest_to_Your_Eyes\"><\/span>&#8211; Giving Rest to Your Eyes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While reading or using digital devices like laptops and mobiles, you should give your eyes some rest or a break. You can do it by looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds &#8211; every 20 minutes. Additionally, develop a habit to blink more often. It would enhance your tear production and stability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Taking_Omega-3_Supplements\"><\/span>&#8211; Taking Omega-3 Supplements&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omega-3 fatty acids may support production of tears and ease your dry eye symptoms. However, you should talk to your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Medications\"><\/span>2. Medications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many types of eye drops and ointments are available to treat dry eyes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Artificial_Tears\"><\/span>&#8211; Artificial Tears<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available over-the-counter, artificial tears lubricate your eyes. They give temporary relief from symptoms, although they do not treat the root cause. As with all medicines, do check with your doctor before using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Eye_Ointments\"><\/span>&#8211; Eye Ointments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These thicker lubricants are meant for those whose eyes dry out during sleep. They should be used before going to bed at night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Autologous_Serum_Drops\"><\/span>&#8211; Autologous Serum Drops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are generally recommended if you have severe dry eye condition. As the name suggests, these eye drops are made from your own blood serum. This customised treatment is used when other treatments do not work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Punctal_Plugs\"><\/span>&#8211; Punctal Plugs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Punctal plugs may prove helpful if tear production in your eyes is not adequate. Your ophthalmologist inserts a plug into the tear drain in your lower eyelid. Punctal plugs allow more tears to stay in your eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Latest_Treatment_For_Dry_Eye_Syndrome_In-office_Therapies\"><\/span>&#8211; Latest Treatment For Dry Eye Syndrome: In-office Therapies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you suffer from Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) &#8211; a leading cause of dry eyes and one which is hard to treat, you can go for the breakthrough Lipiflow (Thermal Pulsation) therapy. Another one is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Lipiflow works by helping your meibomian glands to produce more oil, IPL removes the blockages in the meibomian glands to improve oil flow through them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dry eye syndrome may be more troublesome than most of us think it to be. The condition may be due to various reasons. Also, the intensity of the problem may vary from person to person. However, whatever be the underlying cause, one aspect which is common is the discomfort it causes. While some may experience red, watery, and burning eyes, others may have to go through more complex symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is essential that you do not ignore the condition, and seek treatment from a good eye specialist. It would make life easier, and also protect your eyes and vision for the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/dry-eyes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dry eye treatment in Chandigarh<\/a>, visit Sohana Hospital.
