Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye disease, also known as dry eye syndrome, is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can result in dry, itchy, and irritated eyes. In more severe cases, it can lead to blurred vision and even damage to the surface of the eye.

In Asia, the prevalence of the disease is particularly high, with more than 30% of the population suffering from it

Up to 50% of Europeans aged 50 or above suffer from dry eye disease, according to the European Society of Ophthalmology.

Dry eye is more common in women, especially those aged 50 or older

Higher among people who use computers or digital devices frequently

Causes

Prolonged daily screen use increases dry eye disease risk, with 6+ hours of screen use per day associated with higher prevalence.

Longer visual focus reduces blinking, leading to decreased tear production and increased dryness.

Exposure to dry air, wind, smoke, and air conditioning can all contribute to dry eyes.

LASIK and other eye surgeries can lead to temporary or permanent dry eyes.

As people age, their tear production decreases, making them more prone to dry eyes

Certain medications, such as antihistamines, decongestants, and antidepressants, can cause dry eyes as a side effect.

Who is at risk?

Students and children:

Extended screen use in online learning and video gaming increases the risk of Dry Eye Disease in children and students.

Working Professionals:

Working Professionals who use computers for extended periods are at risk of dry eyes due to screen-related factors, poor posture, and reduced blinking.

Post-operative patients:

Patients who have undergone eye surgeries like LASIK, SMILE, and cataract are at risk of developing dry eye disease due to damage to the tear glands and reduced tear production.

Screen Users:

Extended phone use for more than 6 hours a day can also increase the risk of dry eye disease due to reduced blinking and exposure to blue light and glare from the screen.
