Dry Eye ReliefStarts Here
Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 people between 18 and 34 suffer from dry eye syndrome (DES)? If you’ve ever experienced the irritation, redness, and discomfort associated with dry eye, you’re not alone. The good news is that our dry eye specialists in Waterbury are here to provide personalized solutions for your unique needs.
A Closer Look at Dry Eye
DES occurs when your eyes lack sufficient lubrication due to inadequate tear production, poor tear quality, or rapid evaporation of tears. There are two primary types: aqueous tear-deficient dry eye, where the eyes don’t produce enough tears, and evaporative dry eye, where tears evaporate too quickly due to oil gland dysfunction. Both types lead to discomfort and can affect your vision.
Recognizing Dry Eye Signs
The signs and symptoms of dry eye vary from person to person but can include:
- Persistent dryness
- Bloodshot or irritated eyes
- Burning sensation in your eyes
- Difficulty focusing, especially in dry or windy environments
- Light sensitivity
- Watery eyes
- Mucus-like discharge around the eyes
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses
