dry eyes are caused by immune problems such as Lupus or Sjogrens syndrome, aging and Arthritis, dry environment & allergy and eyelid problems such as belpharitis. If you really want to know look at lumecare website.

kyler just doesnt stop crying bam! and you have the answer.

Dry eye syndrome is a common problem caused by the tear film that lubricates the eyes. Tear films are made of three layers : The outer mucus layer which helps to coat the cornea, the middle aqueous layer which provides moisture and supplies oxygen and nutrients to the cornea and the inner lipid or oily layer that seals the tear film on the eye and helps prevent evaporation.

Tears are formed in several glands around the eyes. Water is secreted by the lacrimal glands, located under the upper eyelids.

Several small glands in the eyelids secrete oil and mucus layers. With each blink, the eyelids spread the tears over the eye.

Excess tears flow into two tiny drainage ducts in the corner of the eye by the nose.
