  • Contact lens irritation/intolerance-wearing them for a few hours rather than all day 

  • Tired eyes

  • Itchy/fiery feeling

  • Eye redness

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS?

 

  • Age

  • Gender

  • Systemic/dermatologic Disease (Inflammatory diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Sjogrens, Diabetes, Rosacea)

  • Medications

  • Screen time

  • Environmental Factors

  • Nutrition

  • Make up habits
