What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye, sometimes called dry eye syndrome or disease, occurs when your eyes produce an insufficient quantity or quality of tears. This results in poor lubrication, which can cause itchy, uncomfortable eyes that suffer from redness, irritation, and blurry vision. The main two types of dry eye are:
- Evaporative, where tears lack their necessary oil components and dry up too quickly
- Aqueous, where your tear glands don’t have enough water or produce enough tears
Common causes of dry eye include aging, excessive digital screen use, allergies, and certain medications.
