Dry eyes can pose a serious problem!
Do your eyes itch? Do they feel like they’re burning? Is there a stinging sensation? Then you could be suffering from dry eye syndrome, formerly known as ocular dryness. This common and incapacitating condition affects almost 9 million people in France alone.
It is due to a reduction in the quality or quantity of the tears we produce and to poor stability of the tear film covering the cornea. Pollution, smoking, hormonal problems, taking certain medicines, diabetes… all these are factors that can lead to ocular dryness.
Apart from being very annoying, the condition can also affect our visual capacities. If you are suffering from dry eye, don’t panic but do take it seriously. Treatments are available, starting with artificial tear eye drops that you can administer yourself. Have a word with your pharmacist.
