What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes don’t produce enough quality tears, leading to symptoms like:
- Irritation and redness
- Gritty or burning sensations
- Blurred vision
- Sensitivity to light
While artificial tears provide temporary relief, they don’t address the root cause of dry eye, which often stems from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) or eyelid inflammation. This is where BlephEx and iLux come in.
