If you are suffering from any of the above you may well have a very common tear problem known as Dry Eye, and the good news is that once it has been properly investigated most people find that it is relatively easy to treat.
Dry Eye occurs when your tear flow reduces or your tears evaporate too quickly, causing the very sensitive front surface of your eye to dry out. The eyes then become uncomfortable and red.
There are many different causes of dry eye, which must be properly investigated if it is to be treated effectively.
