How to Diagnose Chronic Dry Eye
Chronic dry eyes can be caused with the decrease in the quantity of tears in the eyes. The decreased production of tears in your eyes causes dryness in your eyes and is the reason for irritation and redness in the eyes. This medical condition can be treated so make sure you visit your doctor in time before the pain worsens. There may be a lot of itching but do not scratch your eyes as that would only increase the pain. Eye drops is one of the best treatments for this condition but they have to be used after proper consultation.
