Hello!

This is Cube Eye 😁 from Gangnam Cube Eye Clinic.

many people are experiencing eye fatigue and discomfort.

Today, we’ll dive into the symptoms, causes,

and effective treatments for dry eye syndrome!

Symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome

We’re all familiar with dry eye syndrome, right?

Let’s go over some of its most common symptoms.

📍 Irritation, a gritty sensation like sand in the eyes

📍 Burning, blurry discomfort, itching

📍 Light sensitivity, sudden excessive eye mucus, or tear production

These symptoms tend to worsen in dry environments or

when focusing for long periods. Interestingly,

closing your eyes might offer temporary relief.

Causes of Dry Eyes

There are several causes of dry eyes, but here are some of the main ones:

📍 Aging

Changes in the quantity and quality of tears

as part of the natural aging process

📍 Chronic Conjunctivitis

Chronic inflammation reduces mucus secretion,

causing tears to evaporate quickly

📍 Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid dysfunction can lead to excessive

evaporation of tears or a reduction in tear production

📍 Decline in Female Hormones

A decrease in estrogen levels

can result in reduced tear production

📍 Medications

Certain medications, such as antihistamines,

blood pressure medications,

or birth control, can inhibit tear production

📍 Environmental Factors

Dry indoor environments, dust, wind, and

prolonged screen time can accelerate tear evaporation

📍 Other Factors

Radiation therapy, eyelid function issues, and

damage to tear glands may also contribute

Treating Dry Eye Syndrome

Treating dry eye syndrome generally involves

artificial tears, IPL laser therapy, and lifestyle changes.

 

1. Prescription Artificial Tears

While over-the-counter artificial tears are easy to find,

selecting the right concentration for your specific eye condition is crucial.

At Gangnam Cube Eye Clinic, we offer a range of artificial tears

and will help you find the appropriate treatment after an eye exam.

 

2. IPL Laser Treatment

At Gangnam Cube Eye Clinic,

we use the Aquacell IPL laser to improve the function

of the meibomian glands and help alleviate dry eye symptoms.

The Aquacell IPL uses pulse light at a 590nm wavelength

to create tiny temperature differences,

which help restore the meibomian gland function,

normalize blood vessels, and improve the tear film.

This technology is FDA-approved in the United States

and KFDA-approved in Korea,

ensuring a high level of reliability.

 

3. Lifestyle Changes

In addition to medical treatments,

there are several lifestyle changes that can help

manage dry eye symptoms.

▪ Drink plenty of water daily

▪ Keep indoor humidity between 40-60%

▪ Blink your eyes frequently

▪ Use warm compresses to improve circulation around the eyes

▪ Take vitamins, antioxidants, and Omega-3 supplements

▪ Make sure to thoroughly remove eye makeup

 

Small changes like these can make a

big difference in preventing and alleviating dry eyes.
