Dry eye syndrome is a condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the quality of tears is poor, leading to insufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. This can result in symptoms such as irritation, redness, discharge, and periods of blurred vision. The condition can be influenced by various factors including age, medications, environmental conditions, and screen time. Treatment options range from over-the-counter artificial tear drops to prescription medications and surgical interventions.
Dry eye is when your eyes don’t have enough tears to keep them wet, and they feel scratchy and uncomfortable. It’s like when your mouth feels really dry and needs water.
