Dry Eye: Symptoms, Treatments, and Solutions in Murcia

Dry eye is one of the most common eye conditions. It is estimated that more than 60% of the population over 45 years old suffers from it. However, factors such as excessive screen use, contact lenses, and heating can increase ocular dryness at any age.

📌 How to know if you have dry eye? Many people are not diagnosed. At LUPER Murcia, we have detected that a large part of our clients suffer from dry eye without knowing it.
