Chronic Dry Eyes or Dry Eye Syndrome
If your situation becomes chronic, then that means that your eyes cannot produce the right amount of tear film or the quality of it lacks. What the tear film does is it keeps your eyes moist by producing enough fluid in the eyes. If it dries up, it makes it harder for the eyes to produce the fluid it needs to stay healthy. If this happens to you, especially during the winter time, it is best to see your eye doctor right away and assess the issue to see if you need medical attention or not.
Its symptoms can be quite uncomfortable too, but they are not a reason as to why you should throw away your contact lenses. With the help of your eye doctor, he will make sure to prescribe to you the things you need so that your eyes stay as happy and as fresh as ever before!
