There is more than one potential cause of dry eyes, so Dr. Khan will assess your specific situation during your appointment to determine the issue. Generally, you're more likely to have dry eyes as you age, and postmenopausal women are the most at-risk demographic.

Many other medical conditions also include dry eyes as a side effect. So, if you have lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or thyroid disease, dry eyes can occur. Other causes of dry eyes include medications, contacts, entropion, and blepharitis.

Dry eyes are a frustrating yet common eye problem that millions of Americans deal with in their daily lives. If you're one of the people constantly dealing with dry eyes, you can find relief for your symptoms with Holly Springs Eye & Laser.
