The symptoms of dry eye syndrome tend to be mild for most people, however more severe cases can be painful and lead to many complications. These symptoms usually affect both of the eyes and can include:
• Burning and/or red eyes
• Eyelids that are stuck together upon waking up

• Feelings of dryness, soreness or grittiness which can worsen throughout the day
• Watering eyes – which occurs if the eye tries to relieve the irritation by producing more tears
