Disease/Condition Glossary

Dry eye: When your tears are unable to lubricate your eyes adequately, you may develop a condition known as dry eye. The instability of the tears causes inflammation and surface damage to the eye. Burning, light sensitivity, eye redness, feeling like something is in your eyes, wet eyes, and impaired vision are some symptoms. It results from the disturbance of the normal tear film brought on by hormonal fluctuations, autoimmune illness, irritated eyelid glands, ageing, contact lens wear, and the use of antihistamines, among other factors (fexofenadine).
