  • Dry eye that occurs when tears aren’t able to provide adequate moisture.
  • Treatable by a medical professional.
  • Usually self-diagnosable.
  • Lab tests or imaging rarely required.
  • Medium-term: resolves within months.
  • Risk of acquiring this condition increases with age. It’s also seen more commonly among post-menopausal women.
  • The eye may become dry, red and inflamed. The main symptoms are discomfort and sensitivity to light.
  • Prescription and lubricating eye drops can reduce dryness.
