Dry Eye Syndrome (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca) occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation and discomfort. It can result from aging, environmental factors, prolonged screen time, certain medications, or underlying health conditions.

Symptoms of Dry Eye:

• Burning or stinging sensation in the eyes

• Redness and irritation

• Sensitivity to light

• Blurred vision

• Feeling of grittiness or foreign body in the eye

• Excessive tearing (as a reflex to dryness)
