Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when the tears do not provide adequate lubrication for the eyes. A lack of tears, or tears of insufficient quality, can contribute to inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.

The increasing use of electronic devices at school and work, along with environmental factors and local eye conditions, can contribute to or worsen dry eye symptoms.

Common Symptoms

Dry eyes may cause:

• Stinging or burning

• Redness

These symptoms can affect concentration, comfort, and productivity.
