Dry Eyes? You’re Not Alone

If your eyes burn, feel gritty, or water excessively, you may be experiencing Dry Eye Syndrome. It’s more common in adults over 50, but factors like screen use, certain medications, and dry environments can affect anyone.

“Dry eyes are not just uncomfortable—they can impact vision and lead to damage if untreated,” explains Dr. Nina Kapoor, MD, an ophthalmologist specializing in ocular surface disease.

Treatments range from artificial tears to prescription drops, warm compresses, and punctual plugs. In some cases, your optometrist may refer you to a specialist in tear film disorders.

🟢 Take it seriously—dry eyes can be more than just annoying.
