The “tear film” on the outer surface of our eyes works like a lubricant to keep our eyes wet and comfortable. When tear film is damaged or starts to thin out, we experience that our eyes are dry and itchy. We tend to blink a lot more to produce tears and oil. The thinking of tear film is one of the major cause of dry eye condition. The tear film may start thinning due to ageing or many other possible health conditions.It is estimated that dry eye syndrome affects 1 in 5 Canadians. Certain predisposing factors to dry eye include medication, lifestyle habits, wearing a mask, etc.
There are many reasons that can cause damage to the “tear film” layer and eventually lead to dry eye disease. Some of the most common factors include:
When we use digital devices, like computers or smart phones, we reduce the number of times that we blink or have more incomplete blinks. This reduction is frequency leads to disruptions in the tear film layer and causing a higher risk of dry eye.
