Digital device use
Focusing on phones and monitors cuts blink rate,
letting tears evaporate faster.
Dry Eye
Dry eye disease
Modern life's chronic eye condition —
Shinsegae's precision diagnosis restores healthy tear flow.
The tear film protecting your eyes has three layers:
water, oil and mucin.
If any one is out of balance, tears
evaporate too quickly or are insufficient,
damaging the ocular surface and causing pain.
Treatment goes beyond just adding moisture —
resolving tear-film instability is the core of care.
Dry Eye Symptoms
If you experience even one of the following symptoms, prompt examination by a specialist is essential
Floaters
Dust-like or fly-like spots drifting
across your vision, suddenly increasing in number
Photopsia
Repeated flashes of light felt
at the edges of your vision, even in the dark
Visual Field Loss
Part of your vision is obscured
as if a dark curtain has been drawn
Dry Eye Self-Diagnosis
It may not be simple aging — check the signals your eyes are sending
If 2 or more of the symptoms below apply, it could be early-stage dry eye
An eye examination is important for an accurate assessment
- Objects in the distance look blurry even after changing glasses or cleaning lenses
- Light appears to spread, or car headlights feel unusually dazzling
- Objects appear doubled or multiplied even when looking with one eye
- Colours look more yellow or darker than before
- Small print that was hard to read without reading glasses suddenly looks clearer
- There is a noticeable difference in vision between day and night
Main causes of dry eye
Normal
MGD
Dry indoor air
Long use of AC or heating
strips moisture from your eyes.
Fine dust & pollution
Airborne pollutants break the tear film and inflame the surface.
Aging
Tear production and oil-gland function
decline naturally with age.
Hormonal change
Especially in women, hormonal shifts
around menopause can intensify symptoms.
Contact lens use
Long-term lens wear dulls corneal sensitivity
and disrupts tear circulation.
Post-surgery
After LASIK or LASEK, corneal nerves can
temporarily desensitise and cause dryness.
