Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome, or DES, is a common problem when your eyes don't make enough tears to stay moist or the tears don't have the right mix of natural elements. This can lead to discomfort and sometimes trouble seeing. The symptoms of dry eye syndrome may present as:
Burning or Stinging
An itchy or gritty sensation in the eyes
Vision that is painful or blurry
Sensitivity to light
Blinking often
Redness or irritation in the eyes
A sticky, thick discharge from the eyes
If you have any of these symptoms, it's important to visit an eye doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
