Dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca or simply dry eye syndrome, is a common eye condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to uncomfortable symptoms, including eye irritation, burning, itching, redness, and blurred vision. In severe cases, dry eye can also cause damage to the cornea, the clear dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye.

Each year February seems to be a month of dry eyes and allergies. 2021 is no exception. It is no surprise that most of us are spending more time indoors this month as well as screen time increasing.
