Dry eye syndrome is an ophthalmic disease where the ocular surface is damaged due to insufficient tear production or excessive evaporation. Originally, it was one of the age-related eye diseases commonly occurring in middle-aged and elderly people over 40, but recently, due to technological development and lifestyle changes, it is also commonly occurring among young people. If left untreated, it can lead to presbyopia and vision loss, so it should be examined and treated before symptoms become severe.
Classification and Symptoms
The meibomian glands prepare oil to prevent tear evaporation. When the meibomian glands fail to function properly due to various causes, dry eye syndrome can occur.
Additionally, presbyopia, hormonal changes, complications after vision correction surgery, external irritation, dry environment, and prolonged use of electronic devices can also act as causes of dry eye syndrome.
Eye Fatigue
Foreign Body Sensation and Redness
Excessive Tearing
Headache
Prevention
Eye examination is necessary for all ages, but if you have symptoms like those listed below, please get examined at a nearby hospital immediately.
Environmental Humidity Control
Repeated Eye Rest
Eye Compress
Omega-3 Intake
Treatment Method
Since dry eye syndrome is a disease that frequently recurs, to prevent this, the exact cause must be found and treatment tailored to the patient's condition
must be conducted by understanding the condition of the cornea and conjunctiva, tear film thickness, and the presence of inflammation in the cornea and eyelid margin.
IPL Laser Treatment
This is a treatment that unclogs blocked meibomian glands to prevent excessive tear evaporation.
Punctal Occlusion
This is a treatment that blocks the tear ducts so that tears can remain in the eye for a long time.
