What Is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a condition that occurs when your eyes can’t produce enough tears or enough quality tears. This can result in discomfort, blurred vision, and a feeling of grittiness in the eyes.

To address dry eye, we first need to understand the source of your discomfort and how it’s affecting your tears. From here, we personalize a strategy based on your symptoms.
