Dry Eye Disease May Lead To Further Complications
- Eye infections. Your tears naturally lubricate but also protect the surface of your eyes from infection. Without adequate tear production, you may be at an increased risk of developing eye infections.
- Damage to the surface of your eyes. If left untreated, severe Dry Eye Disease may lead to eye inflammation, serious abrasion of the corneal surface, painful corneal ulcers and even vision loss.
- Decreased quality of life. Dry Eye Disease may be making it difficult for you to perform everyday activities, such as reading, driving, enjoying the company of friends and family, watching TV and more. Having Dry Eyes may even impair your ability to perform properly at work, thus jeopardizing your income.
