Dry eyes are such a pain! If you’re like me, you wake up with stinging eyes. A trip to the bathroom to douse water over them doesn’t work. Sometimes, water makes the condition feel worse. Even after a good night’s sleep, your eyes feel tired. You are sensitive to light. And you may also feel some itchiness and a sandy feeling in your eyes.

These are just some symptoms of dry eyes and dry eye syndrome, a condition affecting up to 34% of the population and up to 70% of older people.
