Dry Eye Disease
Do your eyes ever burn, sting, or frequently tear up? Do they sometimes feel sandy or gritty, as if something is in them? If so, you may be suffering from dry eye disease, also known as dry eye syndrome.
Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when you don't have enough tears to adequately cover the front surface of your eye. It can affect people of all ages and is often worsened by external factors, including contact lens use.
Similar to back pain, dry eye disease can come and go, vary in severity, and be extremely frustrating to manage.
Unfortunately, if you have dry eye disease, using digital screens such as phones or computers can intensify your symptoms, and your vision may not be as clear as it could be, even with glasses or contact lenses.
