Cases Of Dry Eye Set To Increase

GlobalData have released a report which predicts that cases of dry eye syndrome will rise by more than half a million by 2022.
Dry eye syndrome is caused due to a decrease in the amount of oil produced in the body with age, which reduces tear production and increases the evaporation of tears, resulting in dry eyes. Gender and particular medical conditions can also contribute to the condition.
As the average life expectancy rises, the number of cases is expected to increase from 195 million to 249 million over the next 10 years.
