Dry eye is a multifactorial eye disease affecting the cornea, or front surface of the eye. Many patients experience symptoms of burning, gritty sensation, redness, tearing and other symptoms. The eye condition is multi-factorial, which means lifestyle, work environment, medications, weather, hormones, and many other factors impact patients. There are many therapies that exist; therefore, we recommend consulting one of our optometrists for the best course of treatment and options that may exist.
