Product Description
normally, the cornea of the eye is protected and moistened by tears. these are spread on its surface by the blinking of the eyelids. but diseases, taking certain medications, exposure to polluted or air-conditioned air, cigarette smoke, looking at a computer screen for a long time or simply age can lead to eye dryness. it occurs when tear production is insufficient or impaired. the eyes sting and become sensitive to light. at night, tear production naturally decreases, resulting in a feeling of dry eyes at night. when you wake up, your eyelids may feel like they are stuck together.
