What is dry eye?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Dry eye is an increasingly common problem,<\/strong> affecting about 350 million people worldwide, and has become one of the main reasons for seeing the ophthalmologist. Although it did not start to be considered a disease until just 30 years ago, there are now many solutions we can offer for dry eye<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, we must bear in mind that quite often it is not only due to a problem of “quantity” of tears<\/strong>, but also of “quality”, and that, apart from causing highly variable discomfort, it can lead to inflammation and damage to the eye surface. To control this chronic process, which can have a major impact on quality of life, there are many more options than the usual artificial tears<\/strong> or moisturising eye drops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the Miranza clinics<\/a>\u2019 Dry Eye Area<\/a>,with a team of specialised optometrists and ophthalmologists at your service,<\/strong> is to provide you with an accurate diagnosis of your type and degree of dry eye to be able to recommend preventive guidelines as well as personalised and effective treatments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dry eye can be due to many causes and a combination of different factors (from age and hormonal changes to diet, smoking and lifestyle, among others). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have other eye diseases<\/strong>, such as those listed below, you may be more prone to suffer from dry eye. Dry eye can also be associated with diseases such as Sj\u00f6gren’s syndrome<\/strong> (an autoimmune disorder affecting the eyes and mouth), <\/em>rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, dermatitis, insomnia, allergies etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
