Dry Eye FAQs
Why are my eyes watering if I have dry eye?
This is a common reflex response — the eyes produce excessive watery tears to compensate for dryness.
Will dry eye go away on its own?
It can fluctuate, but targeted treatment usually provides the most reliable improvement.
Can screens cause dry eye?
Yes. Reduced blinking during screen use is a major contributing factor.
