Dry eye syndrome, also known as dry eye disease, is where the eyes produce very few tears or the tears evaporate too fast. Dry eye syndrome can lead to more severe vision problems and even permanent vision loss if left untreated.

Regular visits to an eye doctor will ensure that you keep your eyes in optimum health. Eye doctors are not just for those who require vision correction. There are eye diseases that affect people who have perfect vision.

Contact lenses are an excellent alternative to eyeglasses. They help ensure vision correction while accommodating an active lifestyle. To start wearing contacts, you need a contact lens exam.
