Dry eyes occur when your eyes do not produce enough tears or the right type of tears to lubricate your eyes.
Dry eye disease is a common condition that makes your eyes feel uncomfortable.
You may experience dry eyes in certain situations, such as on an airplane, in an air-conditioned room, while riding a bike, or after looking at a computer screen for a few hours.
Symptoms of dry eye include stinging and burning sensation, blurred vision, redness, irritation, pain in wearing contact lenses, tiredness, headache, and watery eyes.
Watery eyes with dry eye disease might sound odd. But your eyes produce more tears when they feel irritated by dry eye.
Causes of dry eye include hormonal changes due to aging, certain diseases, certain medications, looking at a computer screen, or using contact lenses for a long time.
You can use eyedrops to cure dry eye and if the symptom is persistent, contact a doctor as soon as possible.
