Dry Eye Overview
What is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your tears are not sufficient in keeping the front surface of the eye (cornea) well-lubricated. The cornea’s health and your comfort is aided by your tears. Low tear production and unbalanced tear composition can have lasting effects on your vision.
Many people, whether they are aware of it or not, suffer from dry eyes. Dry eye syndrome (DES) is one of the most common yet most under-diagnosed conditions affecting the health of the eye.

Why Do My Eyes Get Dry?
There are many reasons why your eyes can become irritated: contact lenses, computer and smart phone usage, extensive reading, eye disease, environmental conditions, eye surgery, and more.
