Are your eyes feeling itchy, burning or watery? You may have dry eye | CBC Radio
Briefly

Dry eye affects roughly one-fifth of Canadians, including young people, ranging from mild to severe, impacting health and quality of life.
Dry eye occurs due to poor lubrication of the eye surface, either from insufficient tear production or rapid tear evaporation, affecting comfort and vision.
Preservative-free eye drops are the primary treatment for dry eye, as the tear film consists of vital layers essential for eye health.
Symptoms of dry eye include irritation, itchiness, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and paradoxically, excessive tearing due to corneal dryness and irritation.
