With the increasing use of laptops and smartphones these days, people who are suffering from dry eye syndrome are also increasing rapidly.
If your eyes are tough and prone to dryness, you should suspect dry eye syndrome. Before thinking about the difficulties of daily living caused by using artificial tears or ocular dryness, you should look into the cause of dry eye syndrome.
As mentioned earlier, the causes of dry eye syndrome are digital screens such as notebooks and smartphones. However, if you do not use these devices, or if you use them for a short period of time, you may get dry eye syndrome.
Other causes of dry eye syndrome include some drugs such as antihistamines, antidepressants, niacin, and even estrogen. Chronic diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease also cause dry eye syndrome.
If you have dry eye syndrome, you may have allergies or contact lenses. In such cases, it is impossible to completely eliminate the factors that cause dry eye syndrome. Allergies are difficult to cure and contact lenses can not be replaced with glasses.
However, you can not stay with dry eyes for a lifetime. If it is difficult to remove the dry eye causing factor, another method should be used. I can not quit my job right now to relieve dry eye syndrome.
Let's use a humidifier first. Humidifiers should be used, especially in winter. On a cold day, the air is dry and the tears evaporate quickly. It's better to use a humidifier on a hot day.
If you are a smoker, stop smoking this time. According to experts, smoking also causes dry eye syndrome.
If you have not used artificial tears, buy artificial tears. There are a variety of brands, and you should find products that do not contain preservatives. Preservatives make eye health worse.
Richard Davis, an associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, says, "It's a good idea to use artificial tears regularly, even if dry eye syndrome does not hurt your daily life. If you have severe dry eye, you should go to an ophthalmologist. "
