What it is:
The eye bathes itself in tears to stay moist. Some people don't produce enough tears for healthy eyes. This is called dry eye.
What You Need To Do:
Check the store for eyedrops called "artificial tears." If you try these and your eyes are still scratchy or irritated, contact your ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.).
Why It’s Important:
Moist eyes are essential to comfort and health. Also, dry eyes may mean other problems.

corneal
What it is:
The cornea is the clear front window of the eye. A corneal transplant replaces a damaged cornea with a donor cornea.
What You Can Expect:
This is often an outpatient surgery. The ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) carefully removes the damaged or diseased cornea. Then the clear donor cornea is sewn into place.
Who Is a Good Candidate:
A corneal transplant may help if the cornea is deeply scarred or swollen and other treatments don't work.

Be aware of potentially dangerous situations at home and in school. Insist that children use protective eyewear when participating in sports or other hazardous activities.
Provide adequate supervision and instruction when your children handle potentially dangerous items, such as pencils, scissors, forks and penknives.
Be aware that even common household items such as paper clips, bungee cords, wire coat hangers, rubber bands and fishhooks can cause serious eye injury.
Avoid projectile toys such as darts, bows and arrows, and missile-firing toys.
Do not allow your children to play with non-powder rifles, pellet guns or BB guns. They are extremely dangerous and have been reclassified as firearms and removed from toy departments.
Keep all chemicals and sprays, such as sink cleaners or oven cleaners, out of reach of small children.
