What is Dry Eye?

Every time you blink, a thin layer of tears is spread across the cornea. This thin layer of moisture, known as the tear film, forms a protective coat that lubricates your eyes and washes away any debris that might harm or obscure your vision. ¹

Dry eye occurs when the tear glands stop making enough tears, produce poor-quality tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly, causing your eyes to feel dry and irritated.^2,3

Millions of people suffer from dry eye, making it one of the most common conditions reported to eye doctors today. Although there is no cure for the condition, there are a variety of treatments available to soothe its symptoms and help you feel more comfortable.⁴
