Spanish term

ojos arenosos

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Questionnaire for use in US for patients suffering from dry eye
Durante la última semana, ¿con qué frecuencia sintió los ojos arenosos?

It is definitely not "sandy eyes."

Discussion

Michael Powers (PhD) Jun 18, 2009:
gritty eyes Unfortunately, I had an eye operation about a year ago for pterygium or cornea vascularization in which a knife was used to scrape out my blood vessels from the cornea so that my pupil would not be compromised and I could retain my sight. Now that eye (my right one) has developed into severe dry eye and often it feels "gritty" and this is the term I have heard when discussing my condition in the ophthalmologist's office. It does feel very scratchy, but the term that I have always heard is "gritty". I wish I did not have first-hand experience with this, but it is better than the alternative I faced and is not macular degeneration.

agree hedapen : If you have dry eye you experience sandy-gritty irritation or burning in your eyes that generally gets worse as the day goes on. Gritty seems to be more common.
