Dry eyes
Dry eyes, also known as dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common condition characterized by insufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eyes. Tears play a vital role in maintaining eye health by lubricating the ocular surface, reducing friction with blinking, and protecting against infection. When tear production or quality is compromised, individuals may experience symptoms of dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes.
