DRY EYES

Relief for Dry, Irritated Eyes

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. A healthy tear film is essential for maintaining clear vision, comfort, and the health of the eye's surface. When the tear film becomes unstable, it can lead to irritation, inflammation, and fluctuating vision.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

You may be experiencing dry eye disease if you notice:

  • Burning, stinging, or scratchy eyes

  • A gritty sensation, as if something is in your eye

  • Redness or irritation

  • Blurred or fluctuating vision

  • Excessive tearing or watery eyes

  • Sensitivity to light

  • Eye fatigue when reading or using digital devices

  • Difficulty wearing contact lenses

  • Glare and difficulty driving at night

What Causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye can result from several factors, including:

  • Aging and hormonal changes

  • Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
