Dry eyes are a very common complaint when tear production is not able to provide adequate eye lubrication. Tears can be inadequate or unstable for many reasons leading to dry eyes, but in order to understand how this may occur as well as what treatments may be helpful, normal tear creation must first be understood. Tears are actually quite complex composed of 3 different layers secreted by different glands and tissues. There is the oily outermost lipid layer. The water-like middle aqueous layer. And finally the innermost mucin layer. The video will go over all 3 layers of the tear film and how they help prevent dry eyes. Given the information provided, treatment strategies are also provided.
