Kerato conjunctivitis is a condition that leads to inflammation of cornea or conjunctiva. Kerato conjunctivitis is also called as Dry eye disease as the eye is not able to produce enough tears. Tears evaporate quickly as oil glands are blocked or abnormal. It is generally seen at old age.
The condition is also known as dry eyes or keratoconjunctivitis sicca. If the main problem is a blockage of the oil-secreting glands, then the condition is called blepharitis.
