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. People with dry eye syndrome may find it difficult to focus on tasks, especially when using screens for long periods. Several factors can contribute to dry eye syndrome, including aging, certain medications, and environmental conditions like wind or smoke. Treatments often involve using artificial tears or other medications to help keep the eyes moist. Maintaining good eye hygiene and taking regular breaks from screens can also help manage symptoms.
