Dry Eye Syndrome is a common condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to discomfort, redness, and a feeling of grittiness in the eyes. Factors contributing to this syndrome include aging, certain medications, and environmental conditions like wind or smoke. Treatment options for Dry Eye Syndrome often include artificial tears, lifestyle changes, and sometimes prescription medications. Maintaining proper hydration and using humidifiers can also help alleviate symptoms. In some cases, procedures to block tear drainage may be recommended to keep the eyes moist longer.
