Hungry For Hydration
Dry eyes occur when there’s an issue with your tear production or tear quality. Chronic dry eyes can experience complications like eye infections and inflammation if they are left untreated.
Dry eyes are uncomfortable and irritating, but there are treatments available to provide relief! If you’re looking for a solution to your discomfort, call Total Vision Financial District today for a personalized dry eye treatment in San Francisco.
What Causes Dry Eye Disease?
Your tears are vital in maintaining your eye health and comfort, and a lack of tear production is often the leading cause of dry eye disease.
Frequent dry eyes
If you experience frequent dry eyes:
- Your tear glands may be under-producing
- Your tears could be evaporating too quickly
- Your tears may not be providing nourishment
Conditions that can affect tear film dysfunction
Certain conditions can affect tear film dysfunction and cause increased tear evaporation, like:
- Changes to hormones
- Allergies
- Certain types of medication
- Aging
- Blepharitis (Inflamed eyelid glands)
- Meibomian gland dysfunction
- Certain autoimmune diseases
- Some environmental conditions
- Prolonged use of digital screens
