Next, we will introduce the definition, symptoms, causes and treatment of dry eye and its mitigation methods in detail.
1、 Definition of dry eye
Dry eye syndrome refers to eye discomfort and visual impairment caused by shortened tear film rupture time, reduced tear secretion or decreased tear quality. The common symptoms of dry eye include redness, eye pain, foreign body sensation, blurred vision, etc., and even affect normal life and work in serious cases.
There are two main types of dry eye: primary and secondary. Primary dry eye is caused by decreased tear secretion or decreased tear quality, while secondary dry eye is caused by other eye diseases or systemic diseases.
2、 Symptoms of dry eye
The symptoms of dry eye mainly include redness, eye pain, foreign body sensation, blurred vision, dry eyes, itching, photosensitivity, etc. Patients often suffer from eye fatigue, dry and uncomfortable eyes, burning eyes and other uncomfortable feelings, and even affect sleep and daily life in serious cases.
The symptoms of dry eye may sometimes be good or bad, which is affected by environmental factors, eye use time, eating habits and other factors. Patients need to seek the help of professional doctors in time to make a clear diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan.
3、 Causes of dry eye
The causes of dry eye are complex, and the common causes include lacrimal gland dysfunction, tear quality problems, pathological evaporation increase, etc. Dysfunction of lacrimal gland refers to the decline or decrease of lacrimal gland secretion, which leads to insufficient tear volume or decline of tear quality, resulting in dry eye surface and damage to surface epithelium. The quality problem of tears mainly refers to the abnormality of protein, fatty acid and other components in tears, which leads to instability of tears.
In addition, xerophthalmia is also related to age, gender, drugs, environment and other factors. Women, the elderly, long-term use of electronic products, dry living environment, serious air pollution, etc. are prone to dry eye.
4、 Alleviation of dry eye
The relief methods of dry eye include moisturizing treatment, tear replacement treatment, and treatment to regulate ocular surface inflammation. Moisturizing treatment can reduce the dryness of eyeball surface by adjusting living habits and environment, such as increasing indoor humidity and avoiding long-term use of electronic products. Tear replacement therapy can use artificial tears to supplement the lack of tears and alleviate dry eye discomfort. Anti inflammatory drugs, eye massage and other methods can be used to alleviate ocular surface inflammation.
For severe dry eye patients, local or systemic treatment can be considered to improve the symptoms. Huaxia Eye Hospital has a professional ophthalmic team, which can provide individualized treatment plans for patients, help them relieve the symptoms of dry eye and improve their quality of life.
