Dry eye is one of the most common yet frustrating eye conditions. It causes burning, stinging, redness, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. If left untreated, dry eye can affect your daily comfort, vision quality, and even long-term eye health. At Eye Philosophy Optometrists in Williamstown and Doncaster, we provide tailored dry eye treatment to help patients in the inner Western suburbs and Eastern suburbs of Melbourne find relief.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears to stay lubricated. Common causes include:
- Prolonged screen time
- Age-related changes
- Contact lens wear
- Hormonal changes
- Certain medications
- Environmental conditions (wind, heating, or air conditioning)
