Causes of Dry Eye
One of the leading causes of dry eye syndrome is increased tear evaporation. This usually happens as a result of:
- Eye allergies
- Preservative found in topical eyedrops
- Posterior blepharitis (also known as meibomian gland dysfunction)
Another cause of dry eye syndrome is decrease in quality tear production. A drop in quality tear production can happen for many reasons, however, the most common reasons are:
- Age
- Medical conditions such as Sjogren’s syndrome, Graft vs. Host disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Vitamin A deficiency, lupus or thyroid disorders
- Corneal nerve sensitivity
- Medications such as antidepressants or antihistamines
