Prevent Blindness Declares July Dry Eye Month, Expands Resources for Patients and ECPs

CHICAGO—Prevent Blindness, a nonprofit eye health organization, has declared July as Dry Eye Month to raise awareness and educate the public and health care allies about dry eye. The condition occurs when tears do not provide adequate lubrication for the eyes and in some cases can decrease vision. If left untreated, the condition may cause damage to the front of the eye. Prevent Blindness is offering free dry eye resources, including a dedicated webpage, fact sheets and social media graphics, available in English and Spanish, as well as videos from experts and patients.
