🔬 What Causes This?
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a rare, severe reaction — usually to medication (over 80% of cases, including common pain relievers) or infection — that causes the skin and mucous membranes, including the eyes, to blister and shed. Ocular involvement occurs in 60–90% of cases, and dry eye is the most common long-term consequence, caused by damage to tear-producing glands and instability of the tear film.
🖼️ Understand It in Pictures
💡 In simple words
In dry eye, the eyes do not make enough tears, or the tears dry up too fast, so the eye surface becomes sore, gritty and irritated. It is common with age, screen use and some medicines. It is usually treated with lubricating eye drops, eyelid care and, if needed, prescription drops.
