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.
