Dry eye is a common condition characterized by itching, redness, and pain due to insufficient lubrication. If the tear ducts do not produce sufficient tears, or if the tears themselves are chemically imbalanced, the eyes can become dry and irritated. In order to lubricate the eyes effectively, natural tears require a particular chemical balance.

Dry eye has many symptoms, including:

  • Red
  • Burning
  • Gritty
  • Irritated Eyes
  • Foreign Body Sensation
  • Blurry Vision
  • And More!
If you are experiencing any of these dry eye symptoms, you know how bothersome and annoying they can be. Dry eye is a chronic and progressive condition also known as Ocular Surface disease. Ocular surface disease is common but misdiagnosed. It affects about 50 million Americans, and it is continuing to rise.
