👁️ What is Dry Eye Disease?

Dry Eye Disease occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is poor, leading to irritation, burning, redness, and blurred vision. It’s a common condition caused by environmental factors, prolonged screen time, aging, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

• Gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes

• Burning or stinging sensation

• Redness or watery eyes

• Sensitivity to light

• Blurred or fluctuating vision

• Eye fatigue, especially after screen use or reading

🏥 Dr. Md. Tangil Ahmed’s Approach to Dry Eye Treatment

1. Detailed Evaluation

• Review of symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle

• Slit-lamp exam to check tear film quality and corneal surface

• Special tests like Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT), Schirmer’s test, and meibomian gland assessment
