Dry Eye Alert
Dry eye disease (DED) is on the rise, especially in Asia, and it can significantly affect your quality of life¹. Symptoms like stinging, burning, or a gritty feeling can make it difficult to focus and carry out your daily tasks1.

What’s Causing Your Dry Eyes?
One surprising cause of dry eyes is eye makeup. While eye cosmetics help enhance your look, they can also disrupt the tear film that protects your eyes². This can cause tears to evaporate faster, leaving your eyes feeling dry and irritated. Using makeup frequently or not removing it properly can make symptoms worse.
Other common causes include ageing, wearing contact lenses, smoking, and certain health conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, or thyroid disorders2a. Studies also show that women are more likely to experience dry eye symptoms than men, and if not properly managed, these symptoms may become more persistent over time.

Give Your Eyes A Break
Managing dry eye starts with small steps: use artificial tears to restore moisture, take regular screen breaks, and avoid dry or dusty environments3. Prioritising rest, hydration, and clean air can help ease symptoms and support healthier, more comfortable eyes.
