Dry Eyes

  • Amblyopia (weak-sightedness) in children
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Cataracts
  • Glaucoma
  • Floaters / black spots
  • Watery Eyes
  • Dry Eyes
  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

There are two main reasons for dry eyes: either a reduced production of tear fluid; or an alteration in the composition of the tear fluid that leads to a reduced capacity to wet the eye surface. The latter can be caused by issues with eyelids or blinking, medication (e.g., anti-histamins, contraceptives, anti-depressants, beta blockers), climatic conditions (dry air, wind, dust), injuries, and a variety of medical conditions like arthritis or the Sjogren syndrome. Dry eyes are also a common effect in the natural aging process.

Dry eyes can cause the following typical symptoms:

  • Foreign body sensation
  • Itching / burning
  • Redness
  • Blurry vision

Dry eyes are not merely uncomfortable but can cause severe damage of the ocular surface.

Why do dry eyes lead to watery eyes?

Dry eyes lead to an irritation of the ocular surface, which subsequently leads to an increase in the production of tear fluid. In general, this however does not solve the underlying problem of an inadequate chemical composition of the tear fluid.

Treatment

Treatment options are as plentiful as the causes and involve more frequent blinking, improvement of air conditioning, use of artificial tears (lubricating eye drops) and ointments, and lacrimal duct surgery. Professional eye lid cleaning is a new treatment option which provides relief to many patients already after the first session.

Specialised consultation

In our practice we offer a specialised consultation for dry eyes during which we measure the function of the lacrimal glands and the properties of the tear film in order to determine the optimal therapy for you.
