A member asked:

I noticed recently i have been having "eye dryness". i have to lubricate my eyes every morning. what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry eye: It may be due to excess use at work or home. When you read or do computer work, you do not blink as frequently, so the eye dry out. Eyes may feel tried, blurry or tearful--all symptoms of dry eye.
