Dry Eye

Yes. When you use computers or mobile devices you blink up to 60 % less often, allowing the tear film to evaporate and leaving the ocular surface exposed, which aggravates dryness and irritation.

Many people with mild dryness can still wear lenses by choosing daily-disposable, high-water, or silicone-hydrogel materials and using rewetting drops; however, severe dry eye may require specialized scleral lenses or a pause in lens wear.

Adequate hydration supports overall tear production, but it is only one piece of the puzzle; balanced electrolytes, omega-3 fats, and proper lid-gland function are also critical for lasting relief.

Patients often notice softer lids and reduced burning within two to four sessions, although a full treatment plan may span several weeks for durable improvement.

Allergies can inflame the conjunctiva, trigger histamine release, and destabilize the tear film, so many patients experience worse dryness during high-pollen seasons.

Persistent, untreated dryness may inflame or scar the cornea and cause fluctuating or blurred vision, so prompt evaluation and ongoing care are important to protect sight.

Temporary dryness is common after LASIK because corneal nerves are disrupted; most people recover within months, but pre-existing dry eye should be treated and stabilized before any refractive surgery.
