Dry Eye Syndrome is one of the most common reasons patients visit eye clinics today. With increased screen time, environmental stress, and modern lifestyle habits, more people are experiencing persistent dryness, burning, redness, or blurred vision.
At my ophthalmology clinic, I, Dr. Yazan Salameh, specialize in diagnosing and treating dry eye using the latest medical technologies and evidence-based therapies. If you’ve been struggling with discomfort or irritation, you don’t need to live with it—effective relief is available.
What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly due to poor tear quality. Healthy tears are essential for:
-
Clear vision
-
Eye protection
-
Comfort during screen use, reading, or driving
-
Long-term eye surface health
When the tear film becomes unstable, symptoms begin to appear and often worsen over time.
Common Dry Eye Symptoms
If you experience any of the following, you may have Dry Eye Syndrome:
-
Dry, scratchy, or gritty feeling
-
Burning or stinging sensation
-
Redness or irritation
-
Blurry or fluctuating vision
-
Tearing or watery eyes
-
Eye fatigue, especially with screens
-
Difficulty wearing contact lenses
These symptoms can affect your daily activities, work performance, and overall quality of life.
Why Does Dry Eye Happen?
Dry eye has many potential causes. In my clinic, the most common include:
-
Prolonged screen time (phones, computers, tablets)
-
Meibomian gland dysfunction (blocked oil glands)
-
Aging
-
Hormonal changes
-
Contact lens wear
-
Autoimmune or eyelid conditions
-
Exposure to wind, air conditioning, or dry environments
-
Certain medications
Each cause requires a different treatment approach, which is why proper diagnosis by an ophthalmologist is essential.
Professional Dry Eye Evaluation with Dr. Yazan Salameh
Many patients rely on over-the-counter drops without improvement because these products only mask symptoms temporarily.
During a comprehensive dry eye assessment at my clinic, I evaluate:
-
Tear production and tear quality
-
Oil gland (Meibomian gland) function
-
Tear evaporation rate
-
Eyelid and corneal health
-
Presence of inflammation or allergies
This allows me to identify the exact type of dry eye and create a personalized treatment plan that targets the root cause—not just the symptoms.
