Causes of dry eyes: The problem of dry eyes is troubling the youth nowadays. The main reason for this is excessive screen exposure. When youngsters remain active on gadgets like computers, laptops, TV, mobiles and tablets for a long time (excessive screen time) and this routine continues every day, the problem of dry eyes (eye dryness) occurs.
Computer vision syndrome begins with the problem of dry eyes. This problem in the eyes occurs due to less blinking of eyes while working on the screen. Because due to less blinking of eyelids, the oil glands of the eyes stop working. These are the same glands that work to maintain moisture in the eyes, but when eyelids blink less, the functioning of these glands gets disrupted and dryness in the eyes increases.
