Dry eye affects millions of people and its very common. 

​

Dry eye is an eye condition caused by a problem with tears. Dry eye can make you eye feel uncomfortable, red, scratchy and irritated. Despite the name, having dry eye can also make your eyes watery.

​

Typically, dry eye doesn’t cause a permanent change in your vision. It can make your eyesight blurry for short periods of time, but the blurriness will go away on its own or improve when you blink.

Normally, dry eye affects both eyes but sometimes one eye is affected more than
the other.

​

Sometimes dry eye can make it feel like you’ve got something in your eye such as an eyelash or a piece of grit, even when there is nothing there. Your eyes may water morethan usual.
