Dry Eye FAQ
Why do my eyes water if I have dry eye?
Watery eyes are often a reflex response to dryness. The tears lack the correct oil balance and evaporate quickly, leading to irritation and excessive watering.
Are preservative-free drops better?
Yes. Preservative-free drops are recommended for frequent use and for patients with sensitive eyes or long-term dry eye.
Can screen use make dry eye worse?
Yes. Reduced blinking during screen use increases tear evaporation and worsens symptoms.
When should I book a dry eye assessment?
If symptoms persist, affect your vision, or you rely on drops daily, a professional assessment is recommended.
