I often experience dry eyes and a sensation as if there is something in my eye. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Feeling dryness and a foreign body sensation in the eye is most commonly due to dry eye syndrome, which can happen from long screen time, reduced blinking, dust exposure, air-conditioning, or lack of sleep. It can also be related to allergies or mild eye surface irritation. Using lubricating (artificial tear) eye drops, taking regular screen breaks (20-20-20 rule), staying hydrated, and avoiding rubbing your eyes can help. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an eye doctor for proper evaluation.

Why do my eyes start watering when I look at the sun or bright light?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Watering of the eyes when looking at the sun or bright light is usually due to light sensitivity (photophobia). Bright light stimulates the nerves in your eyes, causing reflex tearing to protect them. It can happen if you have dry eyes, eye strain, a mild allergy, or are spending too much time on screens. Wearing sunglasses outdoors and using lubricating eye drops may help. If you have frequent discomfort, it is best to see an eye doctor for a check-up.
