Dry Eyes
What Is a Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears do not function properly. This can cause discomfort and interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, and screen use.
At Designs For Eyes, we help patients understand what may be contributing to dry eye symptoms and explore supportive care options to improve comfort.
