Symptoms
Dry eye is a condition which causes symptoms of burning, scratchy and irritated eyes. It actually affects your vision because the tears are part of your refracting system.
Causes
There are quite a few causes for dry eye, including age, gender (women are more susceptible than men), certain medications, our environment, contact lens use, LASIK, and working on the computer.
Remedy
While there is no complete cure for dry eye, artificial tears, prescription eye drops, lid hygiene, Omega 3’s, and drinking a lot of water while decreasing caffeine intake often helps keep you comfortable and seeing well.
