The cause of dry eye syndrome is unknown, but the condition becomes more common as we age.<\/p><p>In healthy eyes, a thin layer of tears coats the outside surface of the eye and keeps it moist. Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eye doesn\u2019t make enough tears, produces ineffective tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to dryness, stickiness, and stinging or burning of the eyes. Sometimes the eyes water excessively in an effort to soothe the irritation, but these reflex tears are usually not enough to fix the problem.<\/p><p>Dry eye syndrome affects women two to three times more often than men\u2014a statistic thought to be attributable to hormones. Male testosterone seems to be good for the tear glands, while estrogen in women has the opposite effect. In fact, in a recent study, women who were on hormone replacement therapy after menopause had up to a 70% higher risk for developing dry eyes than women not using hormone replacement therapy.<\/p><p>If you experience dry eye conditions, don\u2019t delay in speaking with your doctor. Dry eye syndrome is more than a nuisance\u2014left untreated, severe cases can lead to inflammation, infection, and scarring of the eye surface that can result in permanent sight loss.<\/p><p>Today, there are many treatment options to help those who sufferer from Dry Eye:<\/p><p><strong>Environmental Treatments<br \/><\/strong>Often, small adjustments to your daily habits\u2014such as smoking cessation or aiming heating and air-conditioning ducts away from your face\u2014can lead to improvement.<\/p><p><strong>Dietary Treatments<\/strong><br \/>Diets high in the omega-3 fatty acids found fish, nuts, or supplements can also reduce dry eye symptoms.<\/p><p><strong>Medical Treatments<br \/><\/strong>For others, tear replacement drops can help re-establish moisture to the eye or small plugs placed in the tear ducts can prevent tears from draining away too quickly. In addition, a new prescription medication called cyclosporin\u2014marketed under the brand name Restasis\u00ae\u2014is now available to help your tear glands produce more of your own natural tears.<\/p><p>To learn more about Dry Eye Disease and your treatment options call us at 541-779-4711 to schedule a dry eye evaluation with one of our providers, who can help develop a treatment plan that\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9650a78 elementor-flip-box--effect-flip elementor-flip-box--direction-up elementor-widget elementor-widget-flip-box\" data-id=\"9650a78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"flip-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__front\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper elementor-view-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"far fa-eye\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDry Eye Self-Evaluation\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__back\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDry Eye Self-Evaluation\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-flip-box__layer__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDry eye syndrome is one of the most common eye conditions in the US, affecting almost 50% of American adults.
