What Is Dry Eye?
Dry Eye Syndrome happens when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to discomfort, inflammation, and sometimes blurred vision. Causes may include age, extended screen time, contact lens wear, underlying medical conditions, or environmental triggers.

- Gritty or sandy sensation in the eyes.
- Stinging or burning.
