Arthritis
Problems with tear production may be related to aging and menopause, or may be the result of inflammatory conditions such as rosacea, rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogrens disease. As tear production diminishes, the surface of the eye starts to dry out. The body senses that the eye is dry and irritated and signals the main tear gland to flush the eye. As a result, the dry eye paradoxically tears. Patients with dry eyes note intermittent tearing of the eyes during activities such as reading, driving, watching TV or a computer screen, or going outside on a windy day. These all cause the eye to dry out because it blinks less during these activities. The treatments for dry eyes include 1) replacing tears with artificial lubricants which can be bought over the counter, 2) medications like Restasis that decrease inflammation in tear glands and encourages natural tear production, and 3) plugging of the tear drain.
