What is dry eye?
Dry eye, also called dry eye syndrome or dry eye disease, happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears are of low quality.
Tears are essential for keeping your eyes healthy and comfortable. They help you see clearly, remove debris, and protect the surface of your eyes. When the tear film is unstable, eyes can become irritated, inflamed, and more prone to complications.
Dry eye symptoms
Symptoms can vary, but some common signs include²:
- A burning or stinging sensation
- Persistent redness and irritation
- A gritty or sandy feeling
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Excessive tearing (surprisingly, this can be a dry eye symptom)
- Light sensitivity
- Eye fatigue, especially after screen use
- Discomfort or pain while wearing contact lenses
If you notice these symptoms, it may be time to consult our dry eye specialist. We assess the underlying causes and develop a personalized plan for lasting dry eye relief.
