Discovering the Cause of Dry Eyes: A Holistic Approach

The sensation of dry eyes is a common experience often downplayed, with individuals resorting to momentary solutions such as artificial tears or eye drops. However, when this discomfort persists, it is crucial to explore the various underlying causes. At RCO International, we not only aim to address common causes but also highlight an essential aspect often overlooked: ocular nutrition.

Environmental Factors:

Prolonged exposure to air-conditioned or heated environments, wind, dust, and low humidity are environmental factors that commonly contribute to ocular dryness.

Use of Electronic Devices:

The digital era has led us to spend extended hours in front of computer screens, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. This habit reduces the frequency of blinking, contributing to ocular dryness.

Aging:

As we age, the glands that produce tears may become less efficient, leading to dry eyes.

Medical Conditions:

Autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren’s syndrome and eyelid disorders like evaporative dry eye syndrome are deeper medical causes.

Medication Use:

Some medications, such as antihistamines, decongestants, and certain blood pressure medications, can contribute to dry eyes as a side effect.

Hormonal Issues:

Hormonal changes, such as those associated with menopause, can affect the quality and quantity of tears.

Surface Eye Injuries:

Injuries to the cornea or conjunctiva can affect tear production and distribution.

Improper Use of Contact Lenses:

Poorly fitted or prolonged use of contact lenses can contribute to ocular dryness.

In such cases, we always recommend consulting an eye health professional for an accurate assessment. Now, the often overlooked essential is ocular nutrition.

How can we prevent dry eyes? 

We share some tips, although the most important one is the last.

• Avoiding tobacco smoke.
• Including omega-3 fatty acid supplements in the diet can alleviate symptoms.
• Avoiding humidifiers and air conditioning or heating, which can cause more dryness.
• Using artificial tears; the best eye drops for dry eyes are RCO, which are 100% natural and preservative-free.
• Letting the eyes rest when reading, working with monitors, or watching television. Taking breaks to rest the eyes and blinking more frequently to regain lost moisture. We call it the RCO moment, applying moisturizing eye drops and taking a break while the drops take effect.

It is essential to remember that these ingredients offer benefits for ocular health, but maintaining a balanced diet and consulting an eye health professional before using supplements is crucial. Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle significantly contributes to overall eye health care. Dare to care for your eyes comprehensively, nourishing them from the inside out with RCO International.
