Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears—or when those tears evaporate too quickly. This imbalance leads to irritation, discomfort, and even blurred vision.
Common Dry Eye Symptoms
- A burning or stinging sensation
- Red, irritated, or scratchy eyes
- Excessive watering (often due to dryness)
- Sensitivity to light
- A gritty feeling, like something’s in your eye
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Contact lens discomfort
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, Ray Dahl Optical & Optometrists can help you manage and minimise them with care tailored to your needs.

- Certain medications – Such as antihistamines, antidepressants, and blood pressure drugs
- Medical conditions – Including diabetes, rosacea, or autoimmune diseases
- Contact lens wear – Especially with prolonged use
- Environmental factors – Like smoke, wind, air conditioning, or screen use
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) – A leading cause of evaporative dry eye.
