Eyes can tell us a lot about our health. They are windows into our bodies, which can show symptoms of internal diseases we may not be aware of.
But every now and then, the eyes can become dry, itchy and painful. If you have ever felt this, you have most likely experienced dry eye syndrome and there are many factors which can cause the condition.
According to the NHS, dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes can not make enough tears, or tears evaporate too quickly. This lack of liquid within the eye can result in dryness and swelling.
