What Is Dry Eye?

A condition that affects comfort and vision

Dry eye develops when the eyes do not produce enough tears, or when the tears are not of sufficient quality and evaporate too quickly. It can cause stinging, a gritty sensation, redness, watering, sensitivity to light or blurred vision.

Identifying the cause is essential to selecting the right treatment. At our clinic, we assess the tear film, eyelids and ocular surface to relieve symptoms and protect your eye health.

FAQs About Dry Eye

Your Questions Answered

It can cause a gritty sensation, stinging, burning, redness, sensitivity to light and fluctuating blurred vision. Some people also experience frequent watering.

When the ocular surface is irritated, the eyes may produce reflex tears. However, these tears may not have the right composition to remain on the eye and relieve dryness.

It depends on the cause. In many cases, dry eye is a chronic condition that can be managed with tailored care and treatment to reduce symptoms and protect the ocular surface.

Diagnosis may include examining the ocular surface, the quantity and quality of the tears, the eyelids and the meibomian glands. These assessments help identify the type of dry eye and guide treatment.

Treatment may include artificial tears, eyelid hygiene and warm compresses, prescription eye drops and other therapies, depending on the cause and severity of the condition. The most suitable option is determined after an individual assessment.

Tanto mi padre como yo hemos sido pacientes de este centro, y no podemos estar más contentos y agradecidos por el trato y el cuidado que nos han dado todos sus trabajadores, desde recepción hasta consulta. En su caso, fue por una catarata extraña que le creció muy rápidamente, y que los doctores le operaron con un resultado totalmente satisfactorio. En mi caso, pedí cita por una sensación extraña que tenía en un ojo. Me hicieron hueco para esa misma tarde, me revisaron todo en profundidad y me lo solucionaron ahí mismo con una pequeña intervención. Además, me explicaron todo a la perfección y me hicieron sentir muy cómoda y tranquila desde el principio. De verdad, si tenéis algún tipo de urgencia o de necesidad relacionada con este campo de la oftalmología, no dudéis en pedir cita aquí.
