Introduction
Decreased tear production is called as dry eye because it feels the eyes becoming dried up. Tears give natural lubrication to eyes and they help flush the waste products out of the eyes. So dry eye might lead to a higher chance forgetting inflammatory conditions of the eyes as well.
Signs and symptoms of Decreased tear production (Dry eye)
- Burning or stinging sensation in the eyes
- Reddish discolouration of the eyes
- Running eyes or watery eyes
- Excess mucous that is stringy in nature inside and around the eyes
- Eyes become light-sensitive and difficulty to drive during night time
- A feeling that something is in the eye
- Irritation during wearing the contact lenses
Causes of Decreased tear production (Dry eye)
Many environmental factors play a great role in the development of dry eyes as well as internal. Some of them include old age, allergic conditions of the eyes, rheumatoid arthritis, hormone imbalances, vitamin A deficiency and SLE.
Pathophysiology of Decreased tear production (Dry eye)
Though it can develop due to a variety of reasons, dry eyes include such mechanisms like the increased osmolarity of the tear film and the inflammation of areas like the ocular surface or the lacrimal gland pathologically. It can develop in two ways when analysed the pathophysiology, one with decreased tear production or secretion known as Aqueous-deficient dry eye and the other is due to increased evaporation of the tear known as the hyper evaporative dry eye.

Decreased tear production (Dry eye) and Ayurveda
Kricchronmeela
Sushkakshipaka
Dry eyes are understood as Vaata or Pitta dominanace in the eyes due to various reasons. They might increase Guna or qualities like Ruksha (dryness) or Ushna(hot) respectively in the eyes, that can lead to Dry Eyes. Tears or Asru is considered as the co-product of dhatus like Rasa, Medas and Majja.

Samprapti-Ayurvedic pathogenesis
Due to various nidana factors, the rukshaguna increased in the eyes lead to Vaata kopa in eyes. As the tears are similar with Kapha in quality, the vitiated Vaata dries up it and manifests dry eyes.
