Frequently asked questions
Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. Common causes include aging, prolonged screen time, contact lens use, certain medications (such as antihistamines, antidepressants, and blood pressure drugs), hormonal changes, autoimmune conditions like Sjogren syndrome, and environmental factors such as wind and low humidity.
The most common symptoms include a burning or stinging sensation, a gritty or sandy feeling in the eye, redness, blurred vision that clears with blinking, sensitivity to light, and paradoxically, excessive tearing. Symptoms often worsen after prolonged reading, screen use, or time in dry or windy environments.
For many people dry eye is a chronic but manageable condition. However, if left untreated, severe dry eye can damage the surface of the eye, increase the risk of eye infections, and impair vision. Early and consistent treatment helps protect your long-term eye health.
Diagnosis is typically based on your symptoms, medical history, and clinical tests such as the Schirmer tear test, which measures tear production, and tear breakup time (TBUT), which assesses tear film stability. A physician or eye care provider may also examine the ocular surface for signs of inflammation or damage.
Prescription options include cyclosporine eye drops (Restasis), which reduce inflammation and increase natural tear production, and lifitegrast eye drops (Xiidra), which target a specific inflammatory protein on the ocular surface. Short-term topical corticosteroids may also be used during flares. Your physician will recommend the most appropriate option based on your symptoms and history.
Yes. Taking regular breaks from screens using the 20-20-20 rule, using a humidifier, wearing wraparound glasses in wind, staying well hydrated, and avoiding smoke and air conditioning can all reduce dry eye symptoms. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation has also shown benefit in some studies.
Doctronic uses an AI-powered evaluation to gather detailed information about your symptoms and medical history. A licensed physician then reviews your case, confirms the assessment, and creates a personalized treatment plan. The entire process is designed to be fast, thorough, and convenient.
