Symptom 14. Eye Pain or Soreness
Eye pain or soreness can be another sign of dry eye syndrome. When the eye’s surface is inadequately lubricated, it can become irritated, leading to feelings of pain or soreness. This discomfort may be more pronounced during activities that require prolonged focus or exposure to environmental irritants.
To address eye pain or soreness related to dry eye syndrome, it’s essential to restore proper lubrication and balance to the eye’s surface. Artificial tears, lubricating eye drops, or prescription medications may be used to alleviate pain and improve overall eye comfort.
Moreover, implementing proper eye care routines, such as taking regular breaks during visually demanding tasks and maintaining proper eye hygiene, can help prevent discomfort and promote overall eye health. (10)
