Understanding Dry Eye
at Los Angeles Vision Center

What is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This lack of moisture can lead to discomfort, blurred vision, and potential damage to the surface of the eye. Various factors, including environmental conditions, aging, and certain medical conditions, can contribute to dry eye.

Symptoms of Dry Eye

Recognizing the symptoms of dry eye is crucial for seeking timely treatment. Common symptoms include:

Persistent dryness
or scratchiness

Burning or
stinging sensation

Red or
irritated eyes

Sensitivity to
Light

Blurry or
Fluctuating Vision

Excess Tearing

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to consult with an eye care professional.
