Dry Eye Syndrome Affects Your Blinking Â
Ever notice that when you blink your eyes, your vision goes out of focus?
Blurry vision does not necessarily mean that you need new glasses. In fact, a very common cause of blurry vision is called dry eye syndrome. Often confused with eye allergies, when your eyes fail to produce tears with the right balance of oils, here eyes can become irritated, red, and even itchy. Over time, this can, in a severe case of dry eye, even affect your vision and make things blurry.
Nearly every week, Yesnick Vision Center sees patients who complain about the following:
- Driving at night is difficult
- Very light-sensitive
- Glare from bright lights can be painful
- Eyes are constantly red
- Watery eyes are teary eyes
- Continuous eye rubbing
While not everybody suffers from dry eye syndrome, there are certainly a number of shared symptoms that can indicate dry eye. One of the telltale signs, however, is when you blink and your vision goes to the focus. Because your vision is dependent on the quality of your tears, any imbalance will tend to disrupt the way your eyes can focus and receive light.
