Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Dry Eye:
Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI (Excerpt)
The main symptom of dry eye is
usually a scratchy or sandy feeling as if something is in the eye.
Other symptoms may include stinging or burning of the eye;
episodes of excess tearing that follow periods of very dry
sensation; a stringy discharge from the eye; and pain and redness
of the eye. Sometimes people with dry eye experience heaviness of
the eyelids or blurred, changing, or decreased vision, although
loss of vision is uncommon. (Source: excerpt from Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI)
Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI (Excerpt)
Surprisingly, some people with
dry eye may have tears that run down their cheeks. This is because
the eye may be producing less of the lipid and mucin layers of the
tear film, which help keep tears in the eye. When this happens,
tears do not stay in the eye long enough to thoroughly moisten
it. (Source: excerpt from Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI)
