Dry eye condition is due to the decrease in the capability of the eyes to produce tears or it may be due to the increase in tear film evaporation. The reasons behind this include hormonal alterations, use of contact lenses, diseases of the eyes or certain medications. The major symptoms are burning, itching, pain, tearing and even redness. This problem can be relieved by using artificial tears or taking medications prescribed by your optometrist.
