Answer:It is a medical disease in which eyes fail to produce tears
Explanation: Xerophthalmia can be associated with systemic diseases. When xerophthalmia is due to vitamin A deficiency, the condition begins with night blindness and conjunctival xerosis (dryness of the eye membranes). Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and ranges from artificial tears and ointments to plugging of the tear ducts. Also known as conjunctivitis arida.
