Dry eye syndrome occurs when tears aren't enough to lubricate your eyes. As a result of an uneven tear mixture, tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dry eyes. A lack of tears negatively impacts eye health. Dry eyes symptoms include double vision, sticking eyelids upon waking, and a sensitivity to smoke or wind.
As part of a physical exam, the doctor will ask the patient about symptoms, medical history, medications, occupation, and personal circumstances. The key to maintaining good eye health is to keep them well lubricated, though the exact approach depends on why they're dry.
The eyes reflect the spirit. Make sure it stays healthy.
