Dry eye is a chronic condition where there are not enough tears to sufficiently lubricate and nourish the eye. The glands involved in tear production either fail to produce enough tears or produce tears of poor quality that are necessary to lubricate the eyes. Dry eye is common, more than 49 million Americans suffer from dry eyes. A common cause associated with dry eye disease is blepharitis which is inflammation of the eyelids and can be treated with proper eyelid hygiene and care.
