In Australia, 77% have experienced dry eye symptoms1, yet many do not have a clear understanding of the signs, symptoms or causes, according to a study by eye care company Alcon.
The consumer study suggests that despite the prevalence of dry eye discomfort, only 11% of people would see an optometrist and 3% would speak to a pharmacist for advice in response to their eyes bothering them.2
