Understanding Dry Eye: Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions

Dry eye is a condition that can cause persistent discomfort, impacting daily activities and quality of life. At Cedar Park Eye Care, we are committed to helping you understand the causes and find solutions that work.

Common Causes of Dry Eye

Dry eye can result from various factors, including:

  • Aging: Tear production naturally declines over time.
  • Environmental Conditions: Exposure to wind, smoke, or dry air can dry out the eyes.
  • Health Conditions: Diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and thyroid issues increase the risk.
  • Medications: Antihistamines, blood pressure medications, and more can reduce tear production.

Symptoms of dry eye vary in severity and include:

  • Persistent dryness or grittiness
