What causes dry eyes?

Dry eye can be caused by ageing, hormonal changes, a dry or air-conditioned environment, wind, long periods of screen use, contact lens wear, some medicines (such as antihistamines and antidepressants), autoimmune conditions such as Sjögren's syndrome, eyelid gland problems and previous eye surgery. An examination helps identify the cause.

How is dry eye treated at Finland Eye Center?

Treatment depends on the cause found at your examination, which may include tear tests such as Schirmer's test and tear break-up time. Options include artificial tears and lubricating drops, prescription anti-inflammatory drops, warm compresses and eyelid hygiene, meibomian gland expression, punctal plugs to keep tears on the eye, and changes to screen and environment habits.
