Dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn’t have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are necessary for maintaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for providing clear vision. Dry eye is a common and often chronic problem, particularly in older adults.

With the use of over the counter teardrops, prescription drops and/or punctal occlusion with plugs can alleviate many dry eye signs and symptoms.
