DRY EYE

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF DRY EYE SYNDROME?

Causes

Tear production and tear film stability depend on lacrimal glands, meibomian glands and goblet cells. Dysfunction in any of these components produces dry eye. Common contributors include aging, hormonal changes, prolonged screen use, environmental pollution, contact lens wear and certain medications. Systemic conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disease also increase risk. Our Dry Eye Specialist in Delhi looks for these underlying causes during a comprehensive exam to ensure the right Dry Eye Treatment is selected.

​

Symptoms

Typical symptoms include burning, stinging, foreign-body sensation, redness, fluctuating vision and light sensitivity. Paradoxically, some patients have reflex tearing that masks chronic dryness. If you notice persistent irritation, blurring or contact lens intolerance, consult a Dry Eye Specialist for targeted Dry Eye Treatment rather than relying only on over-the-counter drops.

​

DO I HAVE DRY EYE SYNDROME?

At AMVision Delhi, diagnosis begins with a detailed history and targeted tests: tear break-up time, Schirmer test, meibography for gland assessment and ocular surface staining. Our Dry Eye Specialist interprets these tests to determine whether your dry eye is evaporative, aqueous-deficient, or mixed, which guides the most effective Dry Eye Treatment plan. Early diagnosis often leads to faster symptom control and better long-term outcomes.

 

TREATMENT OPTIONS — MODERN, PERSONALISED CARE

Treatment is staged and customised. Initial measures often include preservative-free artificial tears and environmental/lifestyle advice. For persistent or moderate disease, our Dry Eye Specialist uses advanced therapies available in Delhi:

• Lid hygiene and thermal-compression therapies to treat meibomian gland dysfunction.

• Prescription anti-inflammatory eye drops and short courses of oral supplements to restore tear film balance.

• In-clinic procedures such as punctal occlusion, therapeutic eye masks and gland expression when indicated.

• Long-term management plans combining medical care with device-based treatments to reduce flare-ups.

Every Dry Eye Treatment plan at our centre emphasises measurable improvement in symptoms and ocular surface health.

DRY EYE SYNDROME FAQS

Is dry eye dangerous?

Chronic untreated dry eye can damage the corneal surface, lower quality of life and impair vision. Early consultation with a Dry Eye Specialist reduces these risks and improves outcomes with appropriate Dry Eye Treatment.

​

How long does treatment take to work?

Some patients feel symptom relief within days of starting therapy, while complete recovery of the tear film and ocular surface may take several weeks. Your Dry Eye Specialist in Delhi provides a realistic timeline based on test results and the chosen Dry Eye Treatment.

​

Are there permanent solutions?

Many patients achieve long-term control rather than a one-time “cure.” Combining medical, procedural and lifestyle strategies under the guidance of a Dry Eye Specialist offers the best chance for sustained improvement and fewer recurrences after Dry Eye Treatment.
