Eyes extrmely sensitive to air movement?!


Question:

Eyes extrmely sensitive to air movement?

What could be causing extremely sensitive eyes? My boyfriend will wakep in the morning fine but throughtout the day it gets worse and worse. His eyes aren't dry, they water but they are so sensitive to any air movement especially in air conditioned places. Is there something to help this or anyone know what could be causing it, it only started recently. Visine doesn't help and he's never had allergies. Thanks


Answers:

My eye doctor diagnosed me with dry eye syndrome. My eyes would water constantly and I couldn't stand the air conditioning in the car to blow on them. He needs to see the eye doctor. It sounds like he might have dry eye syndrome.

You eyes produce 2 different types of tears. A lubricating tear and a cleansing tear. The cleansing tear is what happens when your eyes water. The lubricating tear is produced in smaller amounts and keeps your eyes from drying out. If your eyes aren't producing enough of the lubricating tears they try and compensate by flooding your eyes with the cleansing tears. It doesn't work. See the eye doctor. If he has health insurance it should pay for it because dry eye is a medical condition.

For those picky people: To simplify matters here I have referred to the "eye" producing tears when actually glands inside the eyelid produce tears.
