What is Dry Eye Syndrome
About 10 million Americans suffer from dry eye syndrome. Most of these
cases result from normal aging of the glands in the eye, but dry eye can
occur at any age.
People suffering from allergies and those wearing contact lenses have greater risk of
developing dry eye.There are two main forms of dry eye, evaporative dry eye and
aqueous deficient dry eye.
Many people mistake
the dry eye symptoms for
allergies, climatic conditions or just
eyestrain. While all of these may aggravate dry eye symptoms,
they are not the cause.
