Disease/Condition Glossary
A dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn't have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are necessary to maintain the eye's front surface's health and provide clear vision. Dry eye is a common and chronic problem, particularly in older adults. With each blink of the eyelids, tears spread across the front surface of the eye, known as the cornea. Tears provide lubrication, reduce the risk of eye infection, wash away foreign matter in the eye and keep the surface of the eyes smooth and clear. Excess tears in the eyes flow into small drainage ducts in the inner corners of the eyelids, which drain into the back of the nose. Dry eyes can occur when tear production and drainage are not in balance.
