WITH DRY EYE DISEASE
Your eyes may not produce enough natural tears
to keep them moist and feeling comfortable
Your own natural tears are irreplaceable
Your tears do more than keep your eyes moist—they’re a key component to comfort and clear vision.
DRIVEN BY TEAR DEFICIENCY
If you have dry eye disease, you may not be making enough natural tears
When your eyes don’t produce enough tears, they can become dry. This can affect your vision and even cause long-term damage to the surface of your eyes.
Your natural tears create a protective barrier that nourishes your eyes and helps keep them healthy

Dry eye disease is a progressive condition in which your eyes don’t make enough natural tears or the tears are poor quality. It can range from mild to severe and can be caused by a variety of factors.
TREATMENT CHALLENGES
Dry eye disease is a chronic condition that needs treatment
Your own natural tears are irreplaceable. Artificial tears may provide temporary relief, but do not contribute to natural tear production.
Finding relief from dry eye disease can be challenging
Some dry eye treatments may take up to 6 months to provide relief.
Over-the-counter eye drops may only offer temporary relief
Many people with dry eye disease feel as though their current treatments don't last long enough or aren't effective enough.
If you’re not feeling satisfied with your dry eye therapy, it can be frustrating to continue treatment.
