Dry eye syndrome is a condition in which your eyes are insufficiently moisturized because you either don't produce enough tears or your tears are poor quality.
Your tears have three layers: oily, watery, and mucus.
The innermost layer, the mucus, spreads your tears over your eyes, keeping them moist.
The middle layer is the watery layer.
Water makes up the largest part of your tears and washes particles and debris out of your eyes.
The outermost oily layer keeps your tears smooth and prevents them from drying too quickly.

Extended exposure to sunlight can damage your eyes and contribute to conditions such as cataracts, pterygium, and macular degeneration.
Sunglasses also provide comfort in bright sunlight.
They shade your eyes, so you don't have to squint, and make it easier for your eyes to adjust when you enter a place with a darker interior.
Sunglasses are just as important in the winter as in the summer.
