Children with dry eyes: what to know
Dry eye is often considered a condition affecting adults, particularly the elderly, but it can also occur in children. Paediatric dry eye, though less common, can be both uncomfortable and disruptive to a child’s daily life. Dry eye in children happens when the eyes do not produce enough tears, or when the quality of the tears is poor, leading to inadequate lubrication of the eye surface. This condition may affect one or both eyes and can range from mild to more persistent forms. If left untreated, it can also lead to complications that may affect vision and eye health. In this article, a consultant paediatric ophthalmologist explains the signs of dry eye in children, and treatment options for it.
