Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye is a type of dry eye disease that results from insufficient tear production by the lacrimal glands. Unlike evaporative dry eye, where tears evaporate too quickly, ADDE is caused by a lack of tear volume, which disrupts the delicate balance of the tear film and exposes the eye’s surface.
While it can affect people of all ages, ADDE is more common in older adults and may also be linked to autoimmune diseases like Sjögren’s Syndrome or certain medications. Without proper hydration, the eye’s surface becomes irritated, leading to inflammation, grittiness, and recurring discomfort.
These symptoms can significantly affect your quality of life if left untreated.
