Dry eyes is usually a mild condition. Normally the symptoms stop at an uncomfortable and annoying feeling in the eyes. Treating this condition involves wearing sunglasses, keeping your eyes and eye-lids clean, taking breaks while using the computer or watching any screen and including Omega 3 fats in your diet. If the problem persists, your doctor will recommend some lubricating eye drops.This is so as dry eyes can be caused due to lack of any one of the following 3 components present on the surface of the eye, namely:

An oily (lipid) component

A watery (aqueous) component

A mucous-like (mucin) component

Generally dry eyes can be treated very easily. Some people can experience more severe symptoms like burning in the eyes, itchiness, ache etc.Treating these symptoms is important, as, if left untreated they may cause light sensitivity and blurred vision. If symptoms persist, it is advisable to see your opthalmologist.
