Discover What’s Behind Your Dry, Irritated Eyes
If your eyes are feeling scratchy, irritated, or tired, especially at the end of the day, you might be dealing with dry eye, and you’re not alone. Dry eye is a common condition that affects millions of Canadians. While it may seem like a minor annoyance, dry eye can impact your comfort, vision, and quality of life.
Dr. Zargar Eyecare takes dry eye seriously, and we use diagnostic technology to uncover the cause of your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan to help you feel better and protect your long-term eye health.
Contact us to book your dry eye assessment today and let us get to the bottom of your symptoms.
What Is Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears you do produce are of poor quality. Healthy tears keep your eyes moist, clear, and comfortable, but when the tear film is disrupted, it can leave your eyes feeling dry, gritty, or inflamed.
This isn’t just about discomfort. Dry eye is a medical condition that can worsen over time if left untreated. Fortunately, with the right care, it’s manageable and often treatable.
What Is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction?
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is one of the most common causes of dry eye. These tiny glands that line your eyelids produce the oil layer in your tears. When they become blocked or stop working properly, your tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, irritation, and blurry vision.
MGD can be progressive if left untreated, but it’s manageable with the right care. At Dr. Zargar Eyecare, we use dry eye diagnostics to assess your gland health and offer treatments like LipiFlow and the ümay.rest to help restore comfort.
Common Symptoms of Dry Eye
Dry eye symptoms can vary from person to person, but they often include:
- A stinging or burning sensation
- Red or irritated eyes
- Grittiness or a sandy feeling
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Watery eyes (your eyes may overcompensate)
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses
- Eye fatigue or heaviness
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to schedule a dry eye assessment.
Who Is at Risk for Dry Eye?
Dry eye can affect anyone, but some people are more likely to experience it. Risk factors include:
- People with underlying health conditions
- Adults over 50
- Women (especially postmenopausal)
- People who work on screens all day
- Contact lens wearers
