Dry eye syndrome is a common eye condition that occurs when tears fail to provide enough lubrication for the eyes. Different reasons can cause the tears to be unstable and inadequate. Tear instability can result in inflammation and damage to the eye surface. 

One of the best things you can do to safeguard your vision is to go to an eye doctor for regular checkups. Most people get vision screenings and presume they are okay. The problem is that they do not know the difference between comprehensive eye exams and vision screenings.
