World Sight Day, supported by WHO, is this Thursday 10 October 2013. It is an annual day of awareness to focus global attention on blindness, visual impairment and rehabilitation of the visually impaired.

Whilst there are a variety of eye diseases which require treatment by Health Professionals, one eye condition – 'Dry Eye', can be helped with OTC treatments.

People with dry eyes typically find it difficult to wear contact lenses and may also have more problems in environments such as air-conditioned offices or supermarkets.

There is no cure for dry eye, but its symptoms can be alleviated. Learn all there is to know about 'Dry Eye' and how to assist your customers suffering from this condition by viewing the related module below.
