What is dry eye?
Dry eye is a public health issue affecting more than a quarter of Canadians.
There are two officially recognized types of the condition: aqueous-deficient dry eye (ADDE) and evaporative dry eye (EDE).
Frequent screen use is a newly identified risk factor linked to dry eye. It's estimated that 88% of the increase in cases is related to screen exposure.
The severity of dry eye is underestimated in 41% of patients, highlighting the importance of having access to the most advanced diagnostic technologies.
