Dry Eye Syndrome?

The eye requires that it be continuously covered by natural tears produced by the eye. Dry Eyes is a condition where some people so not produce enough tears to keep the eye comfortable and healthy. This condition where not enough tears are produced is called Dry Eyes. Tears may be produced by two different methods in the eye. In the first method, tears are produced at a slow and steady rate and provides the eye with its natural lubrication. In the second method, your eyes produce large quantities of tears in response to irritation or strong emotions. If your eyes are healthy they constantly produce enough lubricating tears. If your eyes are irritated by getting something in them such as a foreign body, crying...or if they are too dry, they will produce an excessive amount of tears.
