Dry Eye Treatment

What is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to inflammation and damage to the surface of the eye. Tears are essential for maintaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for providing clear vision. When the delicate balance of tear production and drainage is disrupted, it can result in dry, irritated eyes.
