DRY EYE

So while the computer is the aggravator in CVS, a whole host of factors is behind the very common and very irritating condition known as Dry Eyes. Everything from advanced age, contact lens usage, Blephartitis (inflammation of the eye lid),thyroid conditions, specific medical conditions (Sjogren’s syndrome, Parkinson’s, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and diabetes), certain medications, air-conditioning/heating, smoke, hot/dry/windy climates, hormonal changes, and vitamin A deficiency can cause the quality of the tear film across the ocular surface to diminish. When this happens the eyes can itch, burn, tear excessively, become sensitive to light, and become irritated and red.
