Symptoms
Related diseases
Dry eyes occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This condition causes discomfort, redness, and a gritty sensation. Factors such as dry environments, prolonged screen use, and certain medical conditions can contribute to dry eyes. Using artificial tears and taking breaks from screen time help manage this condition.
