Dry eyes disease
I have dry eyes. The schirmer level test was conducted at a hospital for only 1 minute and the results were 10 and 8, is it normal? Now, do I have Aqueous deficiency dry eye or evaporative dry eye? If evaporative dry eye is there, then why doctor prescribed me with systane ultra eye drops because it is related with Aqueous deficiency dry eyes. And doctor also prescribed me with cyclotears ( cyclosporine) eye drops. Is there something wrong with my lacrimal glands? Because I am just 21 and I dont have any disease.
