Dry Eye

Help Alleviate Dry Eye Issues

Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t make enough tears to stay wet, or when your tears don’t work correctly. This can make your eyes feel uncomfortable, and in some cases it can also cause vision problems.

At Tynedale Eye Clinic, this is an integral part of your eye examination.

What Causes Dry Eye?

Normally, glands above your eyes make tears that keep your eyes wet. Dry eye happens when your tears don’t do their job. This could mean:

Your glands don’t make enough tears to keep your eyes wet.
Your tears dry up too fast.
Your tears just don’t work well enough to keep your eyes wet.
