UNDERSTANDING DRY EYE
Your Tears Do More Than Keep Your Eyes Wet
Your tears form a protective layer that keeps the surface of your eye comfortable and healthy.
When the tear film becomes unstable, your eyes may become irritated, uncomfortable or sensitive.
Tear Film Changes
Changes in tear quality or quantity can affect eye comfort.
Meibomian Glands
Blocked or poorly functioning glands may increase tear evaporation.
Lifestyle Factors
Screen use, environment and daily habits can influence symptoms.
