About
Dry eye disease is a complex condition associated with a wide variety of individual, environmental and disease-related factors.
It is affecting the tears and ocular surface resulting in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability, with potential damage to the ocular surface.
The tear film of the eye consists of three layers: oil (produced by meibomian glands at the edges of the eyelids near the eyelashes), water (produced by the lacrimal glands under the eyebrow), and mucus (produced by conjunctival glands on the white of the eye). Each serves its own purpose. The disruption of the oily layer will cause Evaporative Dry Eye Disease, which is the most common type. The disruption of the watery layer would cause Aqueous deficiency and Dry Eye Disease. When patients don’t produce enough tears in one of two layers it can become very symptomatic and debilitating.
