dry eyes
No moisture there
Dry eyes is a condition where the eyes don't produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, causing discomfort, irritation, or blurred vision.
Common causes include aging, screen use, contact lenses, and certain medications.
My dry eyes get worse in winter.
The medical term is dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
