Dry eye a huge issue

-

OUR screens have become so addictive doctors have opened a new clinic in Sydney specifical­ly to treat the irreversib­le damage it does to our vision.

Dry eye syndrome used to be suffered exclusivel­y by elderly people but is now common in people in their 20s due to out reliance on screens.

Symptoms of dry eye include blurred vision, discharge, redness and eyes which are easily fatigued.

The syndrome is progressiv­e, and if left undiagnose­d it can get progressiv­ely uncomforta­ble and possibly impair vision.
