Jennifer Aniston may be an A-list Hollywood actress, but she's not immune to some of life's nagging health issues. Since 2016, the former Friends star has been a spokesperson for Eyelove, a campaign that aims to help people diagnose and deal with chronic dry eye.

POPSUGAR recently spoke to the actress about her work with Eyelove, her personal struggle with chronic dry eye, and her advice for keeping the condition in check.
