Dry Eye Control and Treatment - Tears aren't just for crying - every time you blink, tears cover your eye to lubricate and moisten the cornea, keeping your vision clear, washing away debris and decreasing the risk of infection. If you are not making enough (or the right kind) of tears, you have dry eye syndrome or dry eye disease. This can negatively impact your vision, comfort and protection your eyes need to see properly.
If left untreated, chronic dry eye syndrome can cause long-term irritation, inflammation and even scarring of the eye. Fortunately, with the right dry eye control and treatment measures, this condition is very manageable.
