Dry eye syndrome occurs when there is a decreased production of tears that moisten, protect, and cleanse the eyes. Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common eye problems. And it becomes more common as people age because tear production can diminish as part of the aging process.

More women are affected than men. And the syndrome is more likely to flare up at times of hormonal change such as after menopause or during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Birth control pills can trigger dry eye syndrome, and so can many other medications, including antidepressants, antihistamines, decongestants, antianxiety agents, diuretics, or other blood pressure pills. Some medicines that are used in the eye also can cause dry eyes as an allergic reaction.

Several autoimmune disorders also can affect the body’s ability to produce tears, including Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and myasthenia gravis, as well as other conditions such as Bell’s palsy and thyroid dysfunction.

Symptoms

Dry eye syndrome can cause:

  • Burning or itchy eyes
  • A feeling of something gritty, like sand, in the eyes
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Difficulty wearing contact lenses
  • Excessive tearing

Vision Salon in Blue Island was top notch. My husband found them through a basic Google search and scheduled appointments for he and our son. Everyone was so so nice and patient and answered all of our inquisitive and anxious 6 year old's questions, including "do eyes have roots" 🤣 I was so impressed that I made an appointment for myself that day. I was grateful to see that even on this next visit, the staff was just as friendly, knowledgeable and kind. My appointment was with Dr. Shannon, but Dr. Johnson still stepped in to say hello. They've been so informative to each of us about the importance of eye care, and also walk you through each step. I highly recommend this black-owned gem in the heart of Blue Island.
