Dry eyes - which
symptoms do you have?

Because of a lipid layer too thin, you will have to make some extra efforts and concentrate on your environment. This leads to a faster tiring of the eye.
Burning sensation in the eye

Grain of sand in the eye
Grain of sand in the eye
Foreign body sensation in the eye, as if there was a sand grain in the eye that does not belong there. This is due to the fact that the cornea dries out too fast and rubs against the eyelid. In some cases, the reason may indeed be a foreign body, which should be subject to a consultation of your ophthalmologist.
Impaired vision

A missing natural tear film may lead to blurred vision and an unclear perception of the environment.

Which factors
may cause dry eyes?
Dry eyes may be caused and aggrevated by numerous factors. Find the most common ones here.
Draught
Draught
In case you are exposed to draught for a longer period of time, your eye surface may dry out from it. The consequence is that your tear film may be destroyed, leading to a dry sensation on the eye.
Heavy air conditioning usage
Heavy air conditioning usage
Incorrectly adjusted air conditioning systems may dry out room air and eyes quickly and force them to produce tear fluid.
Harsh weather conditions
Harsh weather conditions
Harsh weather conditions may strongly influence your eyes. Very hot as well as very cool air have a negative impact on our tear film.
Working with display screens
Working with display screens
Continuous and permanent working with display screens leads to a heavy suffering of the eyes. Less blinking then results in an undersupply of the eye surface.
Dry heating air
Dry heating air
Mostly in winter, warm heating air leads to a quicker drying out of the room air. Should there be no sufficient compensation, this also leads to a quicker evaporation on your eye surface.
Air pollution
Air pollution
Exhaust gas and particulate matter – especially in urban centers – heavily stress your natural tear film, leading to an insufficient supply of the eye.
Smoking
Smoking
Smoking may negatively influence the quality of your natural tear film. This may affect active as well as passive smokers.
Diabetes
Diabetes
Persons suffering from diabetes also bear a stronger risk for dry eyes.
Medication intake
Medication intake
Persons requiring medication against high blood pressure or undergoing hormonal therapy run a higher risk of dry eyes.
Eye diseases
Eye diseases
Persons already suffering from eye diseases such as glaucoma or age related macular degeneration (AMD), subject to special therapies and substances (beta blockers), suffer from a higher risk of dry eyes as well.
