A member asked:
What causes an eye disorder where a film develops daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Film: A film over your eyes is likely due to irritation of the eye's surface which can be due to numerous issues. The most common cause of this is dry eye. I would recommend trying over-the-counter artificial tears and if it does not resolve, you should see an eye doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
