Dry Eyes Treatment In Ghatkopar A dry eye is an
uncomfortable and painful condition. It can be
understood as an inadequate production of tears
leading to dryness of eyes. Dry eyes make you
more susceptible to bacterial infections and
trauma due to reduced lubrication over the
cornea. As tear film is very thin, reading,
writing and watching becomes very
uncomfortable. Role of tears Blinking makes your
eyes moist every time and keeps the corneal
surface smooth and clean. Tear film contains a
combination of oil, water and mucous. Outermost
layer is made up of oil as it prevents tear from
drying. Second layer (water) comes from lacrimal
gland and made up of mostly water as main
content. Water washes away any dirt and unwanted
particles from the eye to keep it clean. Inner
most layer is made up of mucus and formed in
conjunctiva, due to this layer tears dont stick
to eyes. In general we see with any irritant,
our eyes protective response is to produce tears
but in few local and system medical conditions,
tear formation is reduced and that hampers with
the vision.
