Dry eye syndrome is a condition in which your eyes are insufficiently moisturized because you either don't produce enough tears or your tears are poor quality. TempSure is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that uses precisely controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in your skin.
Dry eye syndrome is a condition in which your eyes are insufficiently moisturized because you either don't produce enough tears or your tears are poor quality. Your tears have three layers: oily, watery, and mucus. The innermost layer, the mucus, spreads your tears over your eyes, keeping them moist.
You wouldn't go outside without covering your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, so why would you leave your eyes unprotected. Extended exposure to sunlight can damage your eyes and contribute to conditions such as cataracts, pterygium, and macular degeneration. Sunglasses also provide comfort in bright sunlight.
