Are you constantly rubbing your eyes? Do they feel gritty, burning, or watery? You’re not alone. At Suruchi Eye Hospital, we understand how frustrating dry eyes can be, and we’re here to help you find lasting relief.
Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome: More Than Just Discomfort
Dry eye syndrome, also known as dry eye disease, occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This common condition affects millions of people worldwide and can significantly impact your daily life, from reading and working on computers to simply enjoying outdoor activities.

If you’re experiencing any of these dry eye symptoms, it’s time to seek professional help:
- Persistent eye irritation and burning sensation
- Gritty or sandy feeling in your eyes
- Excessive tearing (your eyes overcompensate for dryness)
- Blurred vision that improves with blinking
- Light sensitivity and discomfort in bright environments
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses comfortably
- Eye fatigue after reading or computer work

- Redness and inflammation of the eyelids
