Why do my eyes get so irritated throughout the day?

Dr. Sandra Lora Cremers answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Dry eye: Eye irritation and redness is most often due to dry eye from an unstable tear film [ie, clogged meibomian glands (mgd) is most common ; blepharitis (normal bacteria on eyelashes)] which can lead to an inflammatory cycle to an inefficient tear. More info: eyedoc2020.Com.
