Arthritis
Dry eyes may occur with aging as the tear glands do not produce as many tears as you get older. Or, dryness may be a side effect of medications, like antihistamines or blood pressure medications like diuretics. Hormonal changes that occur as we get older can affect the moisture levels in the entire body, including your eyes. Inflammation of the oil glands, or meibomitis, occurs when the oil glands, called meibomian glands, become inflamed and can no longer produce oils to stabilize the tear film. This can occur in association with a common skin condition called Acne Rosacea. Eyelid anatomy changes from injury, tumors or age can expose the eyes and cause the moisture to evaporate too quickly. Finally, autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis can alter your tear glands’ ability to produce tears adequately. Frequently, it is a combination of these causes that work together to create enough symptoms for you to call for an appointment.
