Dry Eye Diagnosis and Treatment

A common and frequently diagnosed condition, dry eye syndrome is essentially the eye’s inability to produce enough moisture to maintain comfort during normal, everyday activities. If you experience light sensitivity, irritation, burning or blurred vision you may be exhibiting symptoms of dry eye. While many people experience these symptoms on occasion, those who have any of these irritations on a regular basis may have what is considered chronic dry eye.
