Dry eye disease: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options

Dry eye disease is also a prevalent eye disease that occurs when the eyes are unable to produce sufficient tears, even when the quality of tears is low. These may include irritation in the eyes, a burning sensation in the eyes, reddening, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. Some of the contributing factors are long-term use of the screen, being old, environmental factors, and tear film instability. The effects of the disease can be controlled through early diagnosis and appropriate management of the disease through artificial tears, lifestyle modification, and medical attention, so as to facilitate long-term comfort to the eyes.
