Have you ever felt a constant irritation in your eyes, like something gritty or a burning sensation that just doesn’t go away? You might be dealing with Dry Eye Syndrome, a common yet often misunderstood eye condition. At Laxmi Netralaya, we believe that awareness is the first step towards relief and with the right care, you can enjoy clear, comfortable vision again.
Dry Eye Disease happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of tears isn’t good enough to keep your eyes hydrated. Healthy tears have three layers, oil, water, and mucus and even a small imbalance can cause discomfort.
Dry eye causes include:
● Prolonged screen time (computers, mobiles, TVs)
● Ageing, especially after 40
● Certain medications like antihistamines or antidepressants
● Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), where oil glands in eyelids don’t function well
● Environmental factors such as pollution, wind, or air-conditioning
● Burning or stinging sensation
● Red, irritated, or itchy eyes
● Blurred vision or eye strain, especially after reading or using digital devices
● Watery eyes (yes, excess watering can be a response to dryness!)
● Feeling like something is always in your eye
If you notice these signs, it’s important to consult a dry eye specialist rather than self-treating with random eye drops.
At Laxmi Netralaya, we offer personalised solutions for dry eye treatment, depending on the cause:
● Artificial Tears & Lubricating Drops: To restore moisture
● Advanced Dry Eye Therapy: For chronic cases, especially linked to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
● Lifestyle Guidance: Including eye hydration tips and safe screen practices
● Medical Procedures: If needed, to unblock oil glands or improve tear production
● Surgical options like Punctal cautery or punctal plugs to help retain more tears in the eyes
For many patients, a mix of professional care and small lifestyle changes provides the best treatment for chronic dry eye.
● Follow the 20-20-20 rule during screen use (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
● Stay hydrated and add omega-3-rich foods like flaxseeds and fish to your diet
● Use a humidifier in dry indoor environments
● Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes unnecessarily
● Wear protective or hydrating glasses in windy or dusty areas
These lifestyle changes help dry eye symptoms, but if irritation continues, always consult a specialist.
