The dry eye

bs_subtitle

Dry eyes are a frequent problem, particularly in older people. The tear film is a complex structure with a superficial thin oily layer overlying the watery layer and then a mucous layer. Dry eyes are aggravated by drying conditions such as central heating or low blink rate, as seen when concentrating on television or driving. Many treatments are available for this condition and most can be purchased over the counter and self-adminstered by the patient.
