Dry Eyes Support Group
Dry eyes is an eye disease caused by decreased tear production or increased tear film evaporation. Symptoms include burning and a sandy-gritty eye irritation that gets worse as the day goes on. The symptoms are often caused by a loss of water from the tears that results in tears that are too "salty" or hypertonic.
To get a proper test for dry eye disease- you need a TearLab test done by an Accredited dry eye doctor! You can find the accredited dry eye doc closest to you here: http://allaboutdryeye.com/find-a-doctor/ The test will show your optom. how severe your dry eyes are and give an indication as to what your treatment should consist of. Hope this helps! Keep us updated on your progress!
