Symptoms of Dry Eye
Dry eye sufferers may experience a variety of symptoms, including:
- Stinging or burning
- A scratchy or gritty sensation
- Redness
- Blurred vision
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Watering, as the eyes react with non-lubricating tears
- A mucus-like film covering the eye or in the corner of the eye
- Light sensitivity
- Discomfort when wearing contact lenses
Symptoms may be worse seasonally or when your eyes are exposed to dry air from heat, air conditioning, wind or smoke.
