Dry eyes: Dry eye is a common eye condition that occurs when your tears are unable to provide ample lubrication for the eyes. The tearing instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye surface.

Symptoms include burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a sensation of having something in your eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision.
