WHAT IS EVAPORATIVE DRY EYE?
There are two main types of Dry Eye; Aqueous deficient and Evaporative. Which type you have will determine how best to manage your symptoms.
Almost 90% of dry eye patients suffer from Evaporative Dry Eye. This form of Dry Eye occurs when there is an absence of the outer oily lipid layer, leading to evaporation of the aqueous layer. This in turn leads to a reduced tear film, exposing your eye to factors such as wind. This in turn leads to excessive watering, redness, grittiness and overall discomfort to the eye.
