| Development and symptoms Over 30 million people worldwide suffer from dry eye syndrome. Eye discomfort often occurs from spending alot of time on concentrated tasks, such as working on the computer, watching TV and using smart phones as well as over exposure to environmental conditions, air conditioning or hormonal dysfunctions. All of these factors contribute to the reduction of tear fluid and changes in the chemical composition of the tear film that lead to painful symptoms such as tired, sore, itchy, burning, red and teary eyes. Treatment Options On average Ophthalmologists diagnose 1 out of every 5 patients with dry eye syndrome. Medical professionals and pharmacists generally recommend products without preservative agents. Moistening agents with preservatives can harm the cornea and cause allergies. They can also lead to premature evaporation of the tear film and consequently to dry eyes. Therefore, pharmacies provide various moistening agents to quickly treat the accompanying symptoms. |
