Dry eye Part 1- What is dry eye? Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) explained

Dry Eye, or Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), to give it its medical name; is a very common complaint.

The good news is that there are only two main categories of dry eye problems based on the health of your tears.

About this video:

Hi I'm optometrist Martin Oguzie, this video is part one of three videos on basic dry eye (Keratoconjunctivitis sicca or KCS) tips. We start by explaining the problem of dry eye via an explanation of what it is. This is best explained by dissecting the medical name for the condition; keratoconjunctivitis sicca or KSC as it is often shortened to. In the two other videos that will follow in the coming weeks, I will explain the causes of dry eye and some important points for effective treatment, that will hopefully be helpful for anyone managing their own evaporative dry eye or their aqueous deficient KCS with an eye care professional.
