Easy Solution for a Complex Problem
Patients' complaints of burning, dry and red eyes are often passed off as either nothing significant or a side bar of dry eyes. Many eye doctors simply recommend artificial tears and hope for the best. When these same individuals return with contact lens discomfort and related symptoms, they are more difficult to deal with. While dry eyes are in many cases the etiology of the symptoms, the cure is more complex. The underlying reason for the dry eye condition must be determined in order to fully correct the problem. An often overlooked cause is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
