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.
