dry eyes effect on mental health links between anxiety and depression and dry eye disease

Unsurprisingly, most of the focus on dry eye conditions is on their physical effects.

    But speaking from my own experience, equally significant is the way that living with dry eyes affects your mental state and this finding is backed up by several recent scientific studies.
