How can I get rid of dry eyes?

Dry eye is a common condition characterised by a deterioration in the tear film, which is essential for protecting and moisturising the eye. It leads to symptoms such as stinging, redness, blurred vision or a sensation of a foreign body in the eyes. The main causes include hormonal changes, particularly in post-menopausal women, prolonged use of screens, pollution and contact lens wear. To relieve symptoms, natural solutions can be considered. Vitamins play a key role: vitamin A promotes the production of mucin, essential for tear stability, while vitamin E protects cells against oxidative stress. Plant extracts, such as trehelose or aloe vera, also provide benefits by reducing inflammation and repairing eye tissue. These alternatives, combined with a healthy lifestyle, help to improve visual comfort and limit the complications associated with this disease.
