Also known as: Dry Eye Disease, Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, Computer Vision Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome occurs when tears don't provide adequate lubrication for the eyes, either due to insufficient tear production or poor-quality tears that evaporate too quickly. It is increasingly common due to screen use and is one of the most frequent reasons for eye doctor visits. While rarely serious, chronic dry eye can cause eye damage and significantly impact quality of life.
