Symptoms

Besides the obvious feeling of your eyes being dried out, there are a lot of symptoms related to dry eye disease that many don’t realize are symptoms of chronic dry eye disease. Watery eyes are often an indication that the eyes are dry and your tear ducts are overproducing to relief the dryness. Itching and redness are also common symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome.

Chronic dry eye disease can be caused by corneal injury or corneal damage, so your doctor will inspect the surface and health of the eye when determining if you are at risk. Additionally, blepharitis is a common infection in the tear ducts and lashes that leads to dry eye disease. Eyes that have been affected by blepharitis will commonly have a thin crust around the lashes in the mornings.

Treatments

Treatments for mild dry eye symptoms are natural solutions like using EyePromise® EZ Tears, applying a warm compress to the eyes before bed, nutritional supplements, and facial products from Eye Eco™. For more advanced cases the doctor may prescribe a medication or recommend the use of artificial tears. Recently, advances have been made in the treatments of dry eye disease and blepharitis which allow your optometrist to cleanse and refresh the tear ducts that may be clogged from chronic dry eye. These treatments are called Blephex or Pelleve.
