Dry Eye

Dry eye is a common condition, which affects one in four people worldwide and is more likely to occur in women and the elderly. Symptoms of dry eye include burning, scratching, irritation, redness and watering of the eye, as well as blurred vision. Although dry eye is generally not a sight-threatening condition, it can cause significant discomfort for sufferers. Dry eye can be caused by insufficient tear production from the lacrimal gland or an unstable lipid layer, which is the thin oily layer on the outer most part of the tear film.
