Dry Eye

Dry eyes occur when your tears aren’t able to provide adequate moisture for your eyes. Dry eyes may occur if you don’t produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears.
Dry eyes feel uncomfortable. If you have dry eyes, your eyes may sting or burn.
You may experience dry eyes in certain situations, in an air-conditioned room, when it’s windy in winter, or after looking at a computer screen for a few hours.

Treatments for dry eyes may make you more comfortable. These treatments can include lifestyle changes and eyedrops. For more-serious cases of dry eyes, surgery may be an option.
