What Is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a multi-factoral disorder - meaning that there are a lot of factors that can influence why your eyes feel dry. Dry eye occurs when a person doesn't have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. When the eye is dry, it becomes inflammed and can cause symptoms of burning, watery eyes, gritty, stinging, fluctuating vision and pain. It is a common and often chronic problem, and can also have a great impact on quality of life.
