Causes of Dry Eyes
Many different things cause dry eye syndrome. The normal ageing
of tear glands, as well as extended use of contact lenses, environmental pollutants,
prescription drugs, refractive surgery, auto immune diseases, nutrient
deficiencies and other disorders can cause disruption in the tear production
and retention process.
Age
Dry eye syndrome affects 75% of people over age 65. Tear volume
decreases from age 18 as much as 60% by age 65. Hormonal changes cause
decreased tear production brought on by pregnancy, lactation, menstruation, and
menopause.
Extended Contact Lens Wear
Extended contact lens wear can result in dry eye from corneal
oxygen and nutrient deficiency. Protein build-up on the contact lens can
produce a breeding ground for bacterial growth and surface roughness, further
contributing to inflammatory changes. Some contact lens solutions contain
preservatives that can also cause chemical irritation of the corneal surface
and result in dry eye symptoms.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis can often cause dry eye symptoms due to inflammation
of the eyelid margins, which is caused by a bacterial infection
(Staphylococci). This condition can compromise the quality of the tear film
causing tears to evaporate more quickly. The bacteria produce waste material
that can cause a mild toxic reaction leading to
chronic red, irritated
eyes.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK Surgery temporarily disrupts the ocular surface / lacrimal
gland unit. Also, during LASIK, roughly 60-70% of the superficial nerve fibres
in the cornea are severed, which reduces sensation and affects aqueous tear
production and delays wound healing. With compromised sensation, the blink rate
can slow to the point that the tear film breaks up before the next blink can
reconstitute. Though this condition usually clears up after a few months, it
may result in mild to severe dry eye syndrome for several months after surgery.
Computer Use
Computer use causes most people to blink less frequently (about
7 times per minute vs. a normal rate of around 22 times/minute). This leads to
increased evaporation along with the fatigue and eye-strain associated with
staring at a computer monitor. Any task requiring a great deal of concentration
can result in decreased blink rate.
Medications
Medications that can cause dry eyes include antibiotics, blood
pressure medications, antidepressants, diuretics, some eye drops, cold and flu
medications, antihistamines, birth control pills, appetite suppressants, and
ulcer medications.
Diseases
Diseases that may be associated with dry eyes include Rheumatoid
Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Diabetes, Asthma, Thyroid disease, Lupus, and
Glaucoma.
