 =====Dry eye syndrome===== =====Dry eye syndrome=====
  
-Dry eye syndrome[(Eyedisease)] is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. Tears are necessary to keep the eyes moist, comfortable, and healthy. Without enough tears, the eyes can become dry, itchy, and red, and vision can become blurry.+Dry eye syndrome[(DES)] is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. Tears are necessary to keep the eyes moist, comfortable, and healthy. Without enough tears, the eyes can become dry, itchy, and red, and vision can become blurry.
  
 There are several causes of dry eye syndrome, including aging, certain medical conditions, medications, and environmental factors such as dry air and wind. Women are more likely to develop dry eye syndrome than men, especially during menopause. There are several causes of dry eye syndrome, including aging, certain medical conditions, medications, and environmental factors such as dry air and wind.

-Strabismus[([(Strabismus)], also known as "crossed eyes," is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. This can cause one eye to turn in, out, up, or down while the other eye is looking straight ahead. This can lead to double vision, eye strain, and loss of depth perception.+Strabismus[(Strabismus)], also known as "crossed eyes," is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other.

 Strabismus can occur at any age and can be caused by a variety of factors, including eye muscle weakness, nerve damage, or a problem with the brain's ability to control eye movement. It can be present at birth or develop later in life. Strabismus can occur at any age and can be caused by a variety of factors, including eye muscle weakness, nerve damage, or a problem with the brain's ability to control eye movement.

-Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes thin and irregular in shape. This can cause the cornea to bulge into a cone-like shape, which can cause distorted and blurry vision.+Keratoconus[(Keratoconus)] is a condition in which the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes thin and irregular in shape.

 Keratoconus usually starts to develop in the teenage years and progresses in the early adult years. The exact cause is not known, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Keratoconus usually starts to develop in the teenage years and progresses in the early adult years.
