Dry Eye Disease

Millions of Americans suffer every day from dry, irritated eyes. This is most often attributed to Dry Eye Disease (DED), also known as ocular surface disease and dry eye syndrome. Dry Eye Disease is a multifaceted eye condition that causes degradation and irritation of the ocular surface. Sufferers struggle daily with significant eye irritation and even reduced vision from this condition. The main reasons for this irritation stem from insufficient natural tear production or poor quality of the tear film. There are many factors that lead to both of these situations, but fortunately many treatment options as well.
