Causes of dry feeling eyes

Our formulation helps to address core Signs of dry eye such as:

  • Tear film instability1,2,3,4
  • High tear film osmolarity1,2,3,4
  • Ocular surface inflammation1,2,3,4 (burning sensation, itching, redness, stinging and general pain7)

Symptoms of Dry Eye can be caused by:

  • Infrequent or incomplete blinking5,6
  • Prolonged computer use5,6
  • Driving5,6
  • Contact lens wear5,6
  • Poor tear film production5,6
  • Exposure to environmental elements exposure to environmental elements (e.g. smoke, allergens, wind) 5,8
  • Low humid environments5,6
