Dry eyes, medically known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tear film evaporates too quickly. This leads to burning, itching, redness, grittiness, foreign-body sensation, watering, and blurred vision. Common causes include aging, prolonged screen exposure, contact lenses, autoimmune disorders (like Sjögren’s syndrome), medications (antihistamines, antidepressants, antihypertensives), hormonal changes, environmental factors (wind, air conditioning), and chronic eye inflammation. Untreated dry eyes can cause corneal damage, irritation, and increased susceptibility to infections.

Homoeopathy manages dry eyes by addressing tear insufficiency, inflammation, systemic dryness, and constitutional susceptibility. Remedies are chosen based on burning, itching, watery/greasy eyes, photophobia, time of day aggravation, emotional state, and associated systemic conditions. Acute remedies relieve discomfort quickly, while constitutional treatment helps restore tear secretion, strengthen ocular tissues, and prevent chronic dryness or complications.
