What is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Chronic dry eye syndrome afflicts millions
of Americans and is one of the most common eye disorders, though many people suffer the symptoms without treatment or knowledge
of the cause.
Common symptoms of chronic dry eyes include:
itching, burning, grittiness, light sensitivity, and excessive tearing.
Chronic dry eyes can be caused
by several factors, including hormonal changes, aging, auto-immune diseases like Diabetes, prolonged periods of reading or
computer use and environmental working or living conditions with low ambient humidity, high wind, or elevated dust levels.
