What Is Dry Eye Syndrome? (DES)

Dry eye syndrome (DES) occurs when tear production and drainage are not in balance. People with dry eyes either do not produce enough tears or their tears are of poor quality. The result? Unpleasant symptoms, including itching, burning, redness, watery eyes, excessive tearing-and even eye pain.

Dry eyes can also increase your risk for more serious eye problems like corneal ulcers.

How Do I Prevent Dry Eye Symptoms?

Many factors including allergies, hormonal imbalance and the weather can cause dry eye symptoms such as dry, red, itchy and gritty-feeling eyes. Here are some tips to prevent these symptoms, but if these are not successful you may need a comprehensive dry eye exam and treatment;

Omega 3

Eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help produce oils in your tears that slow evaporation.

The 20-20-20 Rule

Following the "20-20-20 rule" when working on computers or screens. This means looking away from the screen every 20 minutes, for 20 seconds, at something at least 20 feet away, to give your eyes a break from the strain of working on digital screens.

Position Fans Far Away

Position air vents, fans and heaters so that they don't blow directly into your eyes, drying them out.

Do You Have More Questions About Dry Eyes? | FAQ

Is there a cure for dry eye syndrome?

Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for dry eye syndrome. However, there are a number of effective ways to prevent or treat symptoms. Make an appointment today with our trusted optometrists in Kissimmee for evaluation and personalized treatment options.

What is the main cause of dry eye syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome commonly occurs because your eyes are not producing enough tears, or the tears being produced don't contain the proper components to keep the eyes hydrated. An eye doctor can perform tests to determine what is causing your dry eyes, and how to treat the symptoms.

Can dry eye syndrome cause blindness?

Yes. In extreme circumstances, dry eyes can result in scratches on the eye that leaves scars on the cornea. This scarring can make it difficult for the eye to focus incoming light, obscuring vision. This may eventually result in permanent vision damage or blindness if not treated properly.

Don’t wait for dry eye syndrome to deteriorate. Take action today by booking an appointment with SeaShore House Optical in Kissimmee today.
