Dry eyesÂ
Eyes are usually bathed in tears throughout the day. Tears are a complex fluid made up of three layers: the aqueous layer, the outer lipid layer that prevents tears from evaporating, and the inner mucin layer that ensures uniform distribution of tears across the eye's surface. If one of these layers doesn't function correctly, tears become unstable, and dry patches appear on the eye's surface, causing stress. The immune system then reacts with inflammation, which causes the uncomfortable symptoms associated with dry eyes.Â
