👁️ Do Your Eyes Feel Dry, Irritated or Tired?

Dry eye syndrome is one of the most frequent reasons patients consult an ophthalmologist in Luxembourg.

It can affect your comfort, your vision, and your quality of life—often more than expected.

At Centre Ophtalmologique du Glacis, we provide a precise and personalized approach to diagnosing and treating dry eyes.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Dry Eyes

You may experience:

  • Burning or stinging sensation

  • Redness

  • Blurred or fluctuating vision

  • Sensation of sand or foreign body

  • Eye fatigue (especially with screens)

  • Excessive tearing (paradoxical reflex tearing)

💡 Many patients are surprised: watery eyes can actually be a sign of dryness.

🔬 What Causes Dry Eyes?

Dry eye disease is multifactorial. The most common causes include:

💧 Tear Deficiency

Your eyes do not produce enough tears.

🔥 Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

Poor quality tears → excessive evaporation.
