Dry Eye Syndrome Symptoms

Dry eye syndrome, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is mainly characterized by the following symptoms: 1. Dry eyes: A sensation of insufficient lubrication in the eyes, with feelings of foreign body presence or stinging. 2. Fluctuating vision: Vision that alternates between clear and blurry, especially after using electronic devices. 3. Red and swollen eyes: Eye congestion caused by inflammation on the eye surface. 4. Light sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to light compared to before, with vision affected under bright light. 5. Reduced blinking: The average person blinks 15-20 times per minute, but patients with dry eye syndrome may experience insufficient tear secretion due to decreased blink frequency. 6. Burning or irritation: Discomfort on the eye surface, with a sensation similar to touching a hot object. Note: If these symptoms occur, especially if they persist, prompt medical attention is advised.
