What is Dry Eye Syndrome (DES)?

Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is a common condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This causes irritation, redness, burning, and blurry vision.

People of all ages can experience dry eyes, but it is more common in adults above 40 and in those who use digital devices extensively.

At Netram Eye Hospital, Nagpur, Dr. Ashutosh Jaiswal, a Gold Medalist and internationally trained ophthalmologist, provides advanced diagnosis and personalized treatment for Dry Eye Syndrome.
