And that’s why we are joined by Dr. Robert Latkany from the Dry Center at Physician Eye Care of New York. Doctor, thank you so much for joining us here at EmpowHer.

Dr. Robert Latkany:
Thank you for having me.

Todd:

Dr. Robert Latkany:

More often than not, it has to do with the poor quality of your tears.
