👀 DRY EYES? BAKA HINDI LANG PUYAT! 💤💦
Ever feel like your eyes are dry, scratchy, or always tired? 🌵🔥 It’s NOT just because of puyat or too much screen time—you might have dry eye disease (DED)! This happens when your eyes don’t make enough high-quality tears to stay comfy and clear.
💡 SIGNS NA MAY DRY EYES KA:
✅ Dry, burning, or itchy eyes 🔥
✅Tearing, kahit hindi ka naman naiiyak😭
✅ Blurry vision that clears when you blink 😵💫
✅ Feeling may something in your eye pero wala naman 🤨
✅ Red, irritated, or teary eyes after a long day 🛑
🧐 HOW YOUR OPHTHA CHECKS FOR DRY EYES:
🔬 Fluorescein Staining + Blue Light Test (like in the pic!) – This highlights damaged areas of the eye caused by dryness. 💡👁
⏳ Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT): Measures how long tear film remain stable on the eye before breaking up. A.k.a Checks how fast your tears evaporate.
📏 Schirmer’s Test: Measures tear production using a calibrated paper strip
💙 FACT: Dry eyes aren’t just for “puyat” peeps! Aircon, contact lenses, too much gadget time, aging, and even hormonal changes can all cause it!
💦 SOLUTIONS? Artificial tears, lifestyle changes, and treatments from your friendly ophthalmologist can help! Don’t ignore dry eyes—visit your OPHTHA ASAP! 👩⚕️👨⚕️
