What is Dry Eye Disease?

DRY EYE DISEASE is a common condition that occurs when your tears can’t provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. Tears can be inadequate and unstable for many reasons. For example, dry eyes may occur if you produce poor-quality tears. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage of the eye’s surface.
