Dry eye can occur for two different reasons. It can happen if glands in your eyelids don’t produce enough oil to keep your tears from evaporating, or it can occur if you do not produce enough water for healthy tears. 

Dry eye causes a wide range of symptoms, including dryness, irritation and might also have a burning sensation or blurred vision. Eyes might feel tired as well, or might have discharge – especially in the mornings upon waking.

When you have dry eye, you might have watery eyes as one of the symptoms. While this might seem unusual, it is a common sign of dry eye. You might also have watery eyes if you have a full or partial blockage of your tear ducts (tiny openings in the corner of your eyes which drain tears out of the eye).

The type of treatment you receive for dry eyes should be tailored to the type of primary cause of dry eye. That said, multiple causes are often present in dry eye suffers and in more severe cases it is usually necessary to use multiple treatments in order to break free of the cycle of inflammation caused by dry eye. Some of the treatments for dry eye include: Intense Pulse Light, Various lubricants, Lid hygiene, Steroids drops, Low dose antibiotic tablets over a 2-3 months, Warm compresses, Protective eyewear, Specialized scleral lenses, Retinal Evaluation.
