Dry eye refers to the lack of normal lubricating tears in your eyes. This can cause symptoms such as itching, burning, a gritty feeling, or even watery eyes.

How long can dry eye last?
The duration of your symptoms will depend upon the cause. If your dry eye is due to normal aging, a chronic health condition, or necessary medication, then your dry eye will last indefinitely because there is no cure for dry eye. On the other hand, if your dry eye is caused by an environmental condition such as air conditioning, then it will be relieved when the air conditioning is turned off.

Can dryness actually harm eyes?
If not treated, dry eye can damage eye tissue, possibly scar the cornea, and make your eye more susceptible to infections. Using GenTeal with its unique GenAquaTM system can actually help you protect your cornea. GenTeal with GenAquaTM provides long-lasting corneal protection, with the benefit of hydrating relief.
