Eye Strain?

One survey at a certain medical institution reported that about 60% of patients who complained of eye strain were affected by dry eye.
Eye Pain?

Patients with dry eye may have injuries on the surface of their eyes (cornea). Pain in the eye may be felt upon blinking when the eyes are dry because the cornea is sensitive to pain.
Eye Discharge?

Tears consist of three components in respective layers: oil, water, and mucin. In the presence of a sufficient amount of water, which is one of the three components, tears can wash away dust and other unwanted substances (old stores of oil and mucin, the two remaining components of tears). In patients with dry eye, however, such unwanted substances remain in the eye because of a lack of tears, which in turn causes eye discharges to form.
Sandy feeling in your eyes

In dry eye, a foreign body sensation may be felt in your eyes because of injuries to the eye surface.
Lacrimation

Patients with dry eye may have injuries on the surface of their eyes (cornea). Pain in the eye may be felt upon blinking when the eyes are dry because the cornea is sensitive to pain. This pain causes the reflexive secretion of tears.
Blurred vision?

In dry eye, dryness of the eyes can influence visual acuity because the eye surface is injured or tears do not stably stay on the eye surface.
Eye itching?

Dry eye patients with light injuries on the surface of their eyes may feel not only pain, but also itching.
Heavy Sensation?

Patients with dry eye may have injuries on the surface of their eyes (cornea). Pain in the eye may be felt upon blinking when the eyes are dry because the cornea is sensitive to pain. In the absence of pain, a heavy feeling or hot sensation in the eyes may be felt.
Red eyes?

The condition of dry eye is characterized by eye surface injuries due to dryness of the eyes. Injuries on the eye surface can cause inflammation, resulting in red eyes.
Eye discomfort for some reason?

Patients with dry eye may have injuries on the surface of their eyes (cornea). Pain in the eye may be felt upon blinking when the eyes are dry because the cornea is sensitive to pain. In the absence of pain, a heavy feeling or hot sensation in the eyes may be felt.
Dry sensation in your eyes?

Patients with dry eye may have injuries on the surface of their eyes (cornea).
Dazzled by light?

Patients with dry eye may have injuries on the surface of their eyes (cornea). Injuries to the cornea may cause the patient to be dazzled by light.
