Understanding Dry Eye

 

Demystifying the Basics

Dry Eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce an adequate amount of tears or when the quality of tears isn’t suitable to keep your eyes comfortably lubricated. Although it might sound simple, it can be a complex problem that significantly affects your daily life.

 

The Science Behind It

Tears consist of three essential layers: an oily layer, a watery layer, and a mucous layer. Each layer plays a distinct role in lubricating your eyes. When any of these layers are compromised, Dry Eye becomes an issue.

 

Exploring Blepharitis

 

Unpacking the Details

Blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelid margins, often leading to red, swollen eyelids and the development of crust around the eyelashes. It’s frequently caused by a bacterial infection or other underlying conditions such as dandruff or rosacea. Yes, it can be as bothersome as it sounds!
