Aqueous-deficient Dry Eye
This type of dry eye occurs when the lacrimal glands fail to produce enough tears. It can be caused by various factors, such as aging, certain medical conditions (like Sjögren’s syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis), hormonal changes (such as menopause), and certain medications (such as antihistamines or diuretics). Aqueous-deficient dry eye often results in a lack of moisture and lubrication on the surface of the eyes.
Evaporative Dry Eye
This type of dry eye is primarily caused by dysfunction in the meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily component of tears. When these glands become blocked, inflamed, or fail to produce enough oil, it leads to an imbalance in the tear composition, resulting in increased evaporation and dryness. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common underlying cause of evaporative dry eye.
