What Causes Dry Eyes?

Contrary to popular belief, dry eyes are not just caused by a lack of tears. Instead, dry eye can be caused by several factors, such as:

  • Medications - Certain medications can cause your eyes to produce fewer tears or cause the tear film to evaporate too quickly.
  • Aging - As we age, our bodies naturally produce fewer tears than we did younger.
  • Health Conditions - Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes can affect the number of tears you produce.
  • Computer Use - Prolonged computer use can lead to symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome due to its prolonged effect on blinking frequency.

If you're experiencing burning, redness, or a foreign body sensation in your eyes, it's time to seek treatment. You should also have an eye exam if your vision is blurry or you experience excessive tearing.

What Are the Benefits of Contact Lenses for Dry Eye?

Contact lenses are an excellent option for dry eye, because they help reduce tear evaporation and provide improved comfort. Your contacts can be worn while you sleep, which helps keep your eyes moist and lubricated throughout the night. Additionally, contact lenses can make it easier to wear sunglasses, as they won't affect the fit like glasses.

How Can Contact Lenses Help with Dry Eyes?

Contact lenses help restore various contact lenses specifically designed to help reduce the effects of dry eyes. We can help you find the right type of lens that fits your lifestyle, and provide follow-up care and support to ensure your vision remains clear and comfortable.

To determine if contact lenses are right for you, we'll start by performing a comprehensive eye exam. During the exam, we'll measure your specific vision needs and evaluate any signs or symptoms of dry eyes. From there, our optometrist can recommend the best type of contact lenses for you.
