Some people, especially those with arthritis or an autoimmune disease, may experience dryness. Most of these people lack
all the components (water, fat, and mucous). This type of dryness is usually severe and hard to manage. Most people with
"dry eye syndrome" actually complain of watering. Watering eyes will usually occur if there is not enough lubricant in your
tears. This lack of lubricant can cause stickiness, burning, and sometimes sharp pains. The symptoms are generally worse
during activities that require concentration, like TV, driving, or reading. This is because you don't blink as much when
concentrating. It may also be accompanied by redness. However, redness may indicate more serious conditions. Those
experiencing dry eye syndrome require regular treatment to obtain their maximum comfort. A determination should always be
made as to what causes redness in your eye.
