Dry Eye

Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears or when tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, redness, burning, or fluctuating vision.

Symptoms may include dryness, burning, stinging, redness, watery eyes, blurry vision, light sensitivity, or a gritty sensation.

Common causes include aging, screen time, contact lens wear, certain medications, hormonal changes, environmental factors, and issues with the oil glands in the eyelids (meibomian gland dysfunction).

We perform specialized testing to evaluate tear quality, tear quantity, and eyelid gland health to identify the root cause of your symptoms.

Treatment may include prescription eye drops, in-office therapies, lid hygiene treatments, thermal therapies, dietary supplements, or customized at-home care plans.

Yes, dry eye is often chronic, but with the right treatment plan, symptoms can be well managed and quality of life significantly improved.
