EYE DISEASES
Dry Eye
Our tears are made up of three important layers and dozens of chemicals. When aging, environment, medications, or other causes interfere with the production of the tear film, dry eye results. Symptoms of dry eye can range from a minor occasional inconvenience all the way up to a debilitating disability, but include: scratchiness, grittiness, burning, tearing, itching, and blurring of vision. Treatment can be simple, like artificial tears and nutritional supplements, or may include medications to boost tear production, or mechanical plugs to keep tears from draining away too fast.
