When we blink, a layer of tears tend to spread over our eyes, making its surface clear and smooth. Without such layer of tear, good vision is not possible. At times, individuals do not produce right tears quality or adequate tears which are necessary for keeping the eyes comfortable and healthy. Such medical condition is called dry eyes.

What causes dry eyes?

The condition causes due to insufficient tears. Tears are basically a mixture of fatty oils, mucus and water.

Particularly for few individuals, the reason to develop the condition is the imbalance in their tears composition. Whereas other do not produce adequate tears for keeping the eyes well lubricated. Moreover, medications, eyelid problems plus environmental factors can also lead to the condition.
