Dry Eye Syndrome is a chronic and progressive condition, and it is extremely common, affecting more than 4 million Australians. It is caused by an imbalance in the different components of the tear layer that coat and protect the eye surface. While symptoms of dry eye can vary in severity, most people with this condition experience some degree of irritated, gritty, red, watery eyes and often blurred vision. Dry eye is a chronic and progressive condition, and correctly diagnosing the specific cause is essential to a successful management plan so that both greater eye comfort and sharper vision can be achieved.
