Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Dry eyes: Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when tears are unable to adequately lubricate the eyes. Tear instabilities cause inflammation and damage to the eye surface. Dry eyes are caused by autoimmune disease, hormonal changes, or inflamed eyelid glands, which disrupt the healthy tear film. A burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a feeling of something in the eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision are all symptoms.
