What is Dry Eye?

Normally, eyes are kept moist by the tears that bathe the surface. The action of blinking spreads the tears across the surface of the eyes. Tears contain important substances that lubricate the eyes, prevent infection and slow down their evaporation.

Dry eye can occur as a result of not producing enough tears naturally or producing low quality tears which then evaporate too quickly.

Dry eye affects more than 700 million people worldwide with more than 85% of Australians estimated to have experienced it at some point in their lives.1
