What is dry eye?

Dry eye is a sometimes temporary, sometimes chronic, condition that impacts the eyes. Patients with dry eye will often experience itching, blurring, and redness of the eye, making simple daily tasks uncomfortable. Many patients will find that their eyes are dry and itchy when trying to use the computer, drive, or when wearing contacts. At Cape Fear Cataract and Cornea, Dr. Brian Groat and his team are dedicated to providing patients with a proper diagnosis using sophisticated screening tools and treatments to combat and even eliminate dry eye for some patients.
