Disease/Condition Glossary

Dry eye disease: Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when your tears are not able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. The tearing instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eyes' surface. Symptoms include a burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a sensation of having something in your eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision. It is caused by disruption of the healthy tear film by hormonal changes, autoimmune disease, inflamed eyelid glands, ageing, keeping contact lenses and using some medications like antihistamines (fexofenadine), and people who have undergone laser eye surgery.

Eye surgeries: Eye surgery, also known as ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye. One of the eye surgeries is blepharoplasty (To repair droopy eyelids, the doctor makes a small incision or incisions to remove skin and muscle and to remove or reposition fat). Cataract surgery (the lens inside your eye that has become cloudy is removed and replaced with an artificial lens to restore clear vision).
