END THE ITCHY, BURNING ANNOYANCE OF DRY EYES
Dry eye disease can be frustrating and painful. On top of that dealing with the daily pain and constantly applying drops can be a lot to handle.

WHAT IS DRY EYE?
Dry eye is a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture in the eye and an ocular surface disease that can affect your quality of vision and overall ocular comfort.
WHAT CAUSES DRY EYE?
Simply stated, dry eye syndrome occurs if the eye does not produce enough tears to keep them moist and wash out dust and debris. Tears also contain enzymes, in some cases the tears may just evaporate too quickly to be effective.
WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO GET DRY EYE?
Anyone can be affected by dry eye; however it is known that women (possibly due to hormone fluctuations) smokers and people who live in hot dry and humid environments are more prone to dry eyes.
WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF DRY EYE?
Persistent dryness, scratching and burning in your eyes are signs of dry eye syndrome. Some people may experience the sensation of a “foreign body” in the eye, and even though it may seem odd excessive dryness can work to over stimulate the production of the watery production of your eye’s tears, resulting in constant tearing and watery eyes. Dry eye syndrome may also be caused by certain systemic diseases such as, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

HOW IS DRY EYE DETECTED?
If you have symptoms of dry eye syndrome, call your eye care specialist for an appointment right away. Symptoms alone may be enough for your doctor to make a diagnosis, but he or she may want to measure the amount of tears in your eyes.
A thin paper strip of filter paper is placed at the edge of the eye, called a Schirmer test is one way of measuring this.

HOW CAN DRY EYE BE TREATED?
