Dry eye—a condition that occurs when your eyes don"t produce enough tears, the tears don"t work correctly or they evaporate (蒸发) too quickly—is much more than a bother. “The burning can feel like sand is in your eyes, and this can cause eye tiredness, light insensitivity, and blurry vision," says Angela Bevels, a doctor in Tucson, Arizona.Nearly 16 million Americans may have dry eye, according to the National Eye Institute. Anyone can develop the problem, but it"s more common in women and people over 50.Sometimes dry eye is a temporary condition caused by a variety of irritants (刺激物). But it can be constant, too, when caused by immune system diseases. Skin issues on or around the eyelids and diseases of the glands (腺) in the eyelids are also common contributors. People who wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜) or have had eye surgeries are also at a higher risk.Some lifestyle changes can minimize the discomfort. First, take frequent breaks from staring at computer and phone screens, which may cause tears to work overtime, according to AdityaKanesa-thasan, MD, an eye doctor at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia.Turn off fans or other direct air to your face, as this can increase the evaporative loss of tears as well, he says. Eight to ten glasses of water every day can also play a role in keeping your eyes lubricated (润滑的).Over-the-counter eye drops can help ease symptoms. But when these solutions don"t provide relief or you find you"re using drops more than six times a day, it"s time to see an eye doctor for treatments.【小题1】What do we know about dry eye according to passage?A．It is a temporary condition.B．It is caused by eye weakness.C．It will make you unable to sense light.D．It may be caused by immune system diseases.【小题2】Which group of people are more likely to have dry eye?A．People under 50.B．People with eyelids skin issues.C．People wearing glasses.D．People having done eye surgeries.【小题3】0 What should people with dry eye do?A．Use eye drops more often.B．Avoid using phones or computers.C．Drink enough water every day.D．Go to the doctor for eye surgeries.【小题4】What"s the best title for the passage?A．Coping with Dry EyeB．Tips for Eye HealthC．Caring for Your eyesD．Causes of Dry Eye
