Dry eye symptoms are very common and can significantly affect your daily comfort and visual performance. With a specialized dry eye examination, we identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and provide tailored advice to improve your eye health.
What are dry eyes?
Dry eyes occur when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the quality of the tear film is insufficient. This can cause irritation on the surface of the eye and lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms.
During a dry eye examination in Amsterdam, we carefully assess the health of the eye surface and the stability of your tear film.
Common symptoms of dry eyes include:
- Burning or stinging sensations in the eyes
- A gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
- Red or tired eyes
- Blurred vision, especially during prolonged screen use
- Excessive tearing as a reflex reaction
A timely dry eye examination can help reduce symptoms and prevent further irritation or damage to the eye surface.
Causes of dry eyes
During the examination, we evaluate several possible causes of dry eye symptoms, including:
- Prolonged use of digital screens
- Contact lens wear
- Age-related or hormonal changes
- Certain medications
- Environmental factors such as air conditioning or dry air
Contact lens–related discomfort can also be thoroughly assessed during a professional dry eye examination.
