Dry Eye (Sicca)

Dry eye is a disorder affecting the lubrication of the ocular surface, meaning that the eye is no longer sufficiently moisturized. Dry eye syndrome can also occur in association with various ocular or systemic diseases.

Red eyes, a sensation of a foreign body, itching or a gritty sensation in the eyes, burning, sensitivity to light, tired eyes, difficulty when using screens, or pain on airplanes or outdoors can all be symptoms of dry eye.
