Are you dealing with a stinging, burning, or scratchy sensation in your eyes? Are your eyes red, sensitive to light, or do you at times feel like something is irritating your eyes?

Dry eye occurs when tears aren’t able to provide adequate moisture, leading to the eyes becoming dry, red, and inflamed.
