What is Dry Eye?
Redness
Tearing
Irritation
Sandy
Scratchy
Dry Eye Symptom (DES) is an ocular surface condition that causes vision fluctuation and symptoms that impede on quality of life when severe enough. These symptoms include redness, watering, gritty sensation, irritation, eye pains, and light sensitivity. When these symptoms are not treated properly it could lead to contact lens intolerance, eye infections, and decline in vision.
​
The tear layer is made up of three layers: aqueous, oily layer, and mucin. When one of these layers is compromised, it causes an instability in the tear film, therefore causing it to not function or lubricate the eyes properly.
