Dry eyes. Eye series. 3.
During her regular check-up a 68 year old woman patient mentions, as an aside, that the recent hot weather has left her eyes with a 'dry, gritty feeling'. The feeling is more noticeable toward the end of the day and on further questioning has gradually become more prominent over the past few years.
