Dry eye

Article Abstract:

There can be a number of causes of the condition known as dry eye. In some cases, these are related to the individual's working environment. Those affected complain of dryness, discomfort and irritation in their eyes, and the eyes are sometimes visibly inflamed. The most widely used test for the condition is the Schirmer's Test, which involves strips of blotting paper being placed inside the eyelids. The condition can be easily treated with artificial tears, but it is important to try to identify an underlying systemic cause.
