No CommentsDry eye is not just a small problem.
It can touch every part of your day – how you see, work, and even how you feel [22].
Your eyes may:
- Burn or sting while reading or watching TV.
- Feel tired or heavy when using your phone or computer.
- Tear up or blur while driving, especially at night.
Sometimes, you can’t enjoy the little things – cooking, meeting friends, or hobbies – because your eyes won’t stop bothering you [23, 24].
- How a dry eye affects your feelings.
- Living with dry, irritated eyes every day can be exhausting.
- It can make you feel stressed or sad, and even affect your sleep.
- When your eyes hurt, it’s hard to focus on anything else [24-26].
The overall impact on quality of life can be as significant as living with other chronic diseases like psoriasis or moderate heart conditions [27, 28].
