Dry Eye Symptoms

If you’re dealing with tired, red, itchy, or burning eyes, light sensitivity, blurry vision, or excessive tearing, it could be more than just digital eye strain or allergies—dry eye disease might be the cause. These symptoms can worsen over time if untreated, potentially leading to corneal damage and even vision loss. That’s why it’s important to see an eye doctor if you’re experiencing any of these issues. Early diagnosis can help prevent more serious problems down the road.
