Watering and redness of eyes is a common phenomenon these days associated with multiple causes.

Thanks to the spurt in the 'smartness quotient' of the devices around us which has totally possessed the human race. Above this, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic has only added fuel to the fire. Work from home, online classes or tutorials, video calls, gaming on mobile phones etc. have all drastically increased the screen time not only for adults but children as well. All this has led to an increased prevalence of 'Dry Eye Disease' (DED) and undiscriminated use of artificial tears drops.
