care that matters.
Dry eye often occurs due to a lack of adequate tear formation, but it can also be triggered by increased tear evaporation and poor-quality tears that are unable to provide adequate moisture for your eyes. Dry eye can also occur when your oil and tear glands become blocked, preventing natural lubrication.
On occasion, dryness can signal the body to produce more tears and cause watery eyes. However, these tears mainly consist of water, which is not enough to provide adequate moisture.
Several factors can contribute to this condition, such as age, hormonal changes, and certain medications. Environmental factors can also contribute to dryness, including your air conditioning and heating systems. Using a humidifier can help add moisture to your indoor environment, especially during the winter months.
