SHOULDN’T BE IN
CONTROL
WHAT IS CHRONIC
DRY EYE?
Chronic Dry Eye syndrome is a chronic condition with no permanent cure. It can be caused by advanced age, contact lens wear, certain medications, eye diseases, other medical conditions, or environmental factors.
Eyes need tears to maintain the front surface of the eye. One type of Chronic Dry Eye disease is caused by reduced tear production due to inflammation.
You can't see the inflammation that causes this type of Chronic Dry Eye disease.
This cycle creates dryness and irritation.
DIAGNOSING
CHRONIC DRY EYE
Chronic Dry Eye will not improve on its own. If you’re experiencing Chronic Dry Eye symptoms, don’t wait for your annual vision checkup. Make an appointment with either an ophthalmologist or an optometrist to get diagnosed and begin treatment as soon as possible.
