What is Dry Eye and What are the Symptoms?

Dry eye is a common condition that affects the ocular surface, leading to irritation and damage. The condition arises due to inadequate tear production or poor tear quality. Symptoms may include:

Stinging or burning sensation in the eyes
Redness and irritation
Excessive tearing or watery eyes
Sensitivity to light
Blurred vision
Feeling of something in the eye

Understanding the symptoms and their impact is crucial to finding the right treatment for your specific type of dry eye.
