5. Dry Eyes
The physical nature of Treacher-Collins Syndrome doesn’t just lead to obvious physical complications that are mentioned in this article, but the condition can also lead to other complications that are harder to see – and will likely require lifelong management in order to avoid further health problems arising from this.
Dry eyes is a very common symptom for children born with TCS, and it can lead to a great deal of discomfort leading even into adulthood. The best thing that can be done for the dry eyes associated with TCS is to maintain moisture in the eyes with hydrating eye-drops that can usually be bought over-the-counter and used throughout the day without much trouble.
Other symptoms of the disorder that are associated with the eyes can also oftentimes help to aggravate the condition of dry eyes, such as the lack of eyelashes that occurs in many cases of Treacher-Collins Syndrome.
