What Is Dry Eye? Understanding Dry Eye Disease, Symptoms & Treatment

What is dry eye disease? Learn more at https://www.myk2vision.com In this video, Dr. Joseph King explains dry eye, why it happens, and how it’s treated, including why watery or teary eyes can still be a sign of dry eye. Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes don’t make enough tears, don’t produce the right quality of tears, or when tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to burning, irritation, blurred vision, eye fatigue, and discomfort with screen use or contact lenses. Many patients ask, “why are my eyes dry?” or “why do my eyes water if they feel dry?” Dr. King explains how tear imbalance and reflex tearing can cause both dryness and excessive watering. Treatment options for dry eye depend on the cause and may include artificial tears for dry eyes, warm compresses, prescription eye drops, and procedures such as punctal plugs for dry eye disease. Common eyelid conditions like blepharitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction are also discussed. If dry eye symptoms are affecting your comfort or vision, a comprehensive eye exam can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
