DRY EYE & OCULAR SURFACE DISEASE
Dry Eye Syndrome is a chronic condition that occurs when the eyes cannot produce a sufficient amount of tears to lubricate the eyes, or the quality of the tears is inadequate to maintain eye moisture.
If you are experiencing symptoms of dry eye, schedule an appointment for an eye exam. During your exam, your eye doctor will perform a series of diagnostic tests to carefully evaluate your tears, conjunctiva, eyelids, cornea, and assess your blink dynamics— how often and effectively you blink.
