A Closer Look
at Dry Eye
Dry eye is a common and progressive condition
affecting millions of Americans that can prevent
them from doing the things they love, whether that's
reading, watching movies or doing leisure activities
like hiking or bike riding. Fortunately, dry eye
symptoms can be treated with remedies such as
over-the-counter eye drops.
Causes
Dry eye can be caused by a variety of factors. The
first is the production of tears, which plays an
important role in eye health by spreading across the
cornea, keeping eyes lubricated and helping push
away potentially harmful debris. Dry eye can occur
when you don't produce enough tears, or the tears
you do produce either evaporate rapidly or are of
poor quality.
Numerous demographic and environmental factors
can also contribute to dry eye, as well as the use of
digital devices, air conditioning, heat blowers and
fans. Certain health conditions like diabetes, thyroid-
associated diseases and immune system disorders
can also play a role, along with extended contact
lens use, refractive eye surgery and certain
medications.
Symptoms
The symptoms of dry eye can run the gamut from
being a minor inconvenience to having a major
impact on your daily life and favorite activities. The
five key symptoms of dry eye include: dryness,
irritation, grittiness, burning and stinging. Other
indications may include itchiness, tired eyes, blurred
vision, excess tears and redness.
"Dry eye sufferers can enjoy their daily lives with
Rohto Dry-Aid, which delivers all-day relief from
irritating and distracting dry eye symptoms in a
refreshing, non-blurring eye drop," said Erick
Estrada, Senior Director of Marketing at The
Mentholatum Company, which makes Rohto Dry-
Aid.
Treatment
One way to help restore moisture to the tear film
and reduce the effects of dry eye is with a fast-
acting, over-the-counter eye drop like Rohto Dry-
Aid, formulated with LiquidshieldTM technology,
which works on all three layers of the tear film to
mimic a stable, natural tear, while providing soothing
relief for up to 12 hours.

If your dry eye symptoms persist and you find
yourself using lubricant eye drops several times a
day, consult your eye doctor as this may be an
indication you have chronic dry eye.
