Dry eye disease is one of the most common reasons patients visit the eye doctor, yet many people do not realize that their symptoms may actually be related to dryness and inflammation of the eyes.

If your eyes often feel irritated, tired, watery, or blurry, you may be experiencing dry eye disease.

If you’ve ever noticed small specks, squiggly lines, cobweb-like shadows, or drifting spots in your vision, you’re not alone. These are commonly called floaters, and while they are often harmless, there are times when they can signal a more serious eye condition that may need prompt medical attention.
