Dry eyes and blurry vision are common complaints that can impact your daily life, causing discomfort and frustration. At 3 Pairs Optical in Barrie, we understand the importance of clear and comfortable vision and are here to help you find effective solutions.

What Causes Dry Eyes?

Dry eyes occur when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Common causes include:

• Prolonged screen time without breaks
• Exposure to dry or windy environments
• Aging and hormonal changes
• Medications such as antihistamines or antidepressants
• Underlying medical conditions like Sjögren's syndrome

Why Blurry Vision Happens

Blurry vision can stem from multiple factors, such as:

• Refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness
• Digital eye strain
• Dry eyes disrupting visual clarity
