Schedule your consultation today to receive personalized dry eye treatment designed for lasting comfort and clarity.

What Are Dry Eyes?

Dry eye disease occurs when the tear film—the protective layer that keeps the eyes lubricated—becomes imbalanced. This can happen due to reduced tear production, poor tear quality, or excessive tear evaporation. Tears are made up of multiple components, including water, oil, and mucus.

If any part of this system is disrupted, the surface of the eye can become irritated and inflamed. Because dry eye can have multiple underlying causes, effective dry eye treatment begins with a precise diagnosis.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

Dry eye symptoms can range from mild irritation to persistent discomfort that affects daily life. Common signs include:

  • Burning or stinging sensations
  • Redness or irritation
  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • A gritty or foreign body sensation
  • Watery eyes (a reflex response to dryness)

These symptoms may worsen with prolonged screen use, environmental factors, or certain medical conditions.

What Causes Dry Eyes?

Dry eye is often multifactorial, meaning it can be caused by several contributing factors. Common causes include:

  • Meibomian gland dysfunction (oil gland blockage)
  • Inflammation of the ocular surface
  • Aging and hormonal changes
  • Prolonged screen time and reduced blinking
  • Environmental factors such as wind or dry air
  • Contact lens use

Identifying the underlying cause is essential for selecting the most effective treatment.

How Dry Eye Is Diagnosed

At our Dry Eye Center, diagnosis begins with a comprehensive evaluation using advanced diagnostic tools.

We assess:

  • Tear production and stability
  • Meibomian gland function
  • Inflammation levels
  • Overall ocular surface health

Patients often notice the level of detail during this process. Rather than relying on assumptions, we use precise measurements to guide your treatment plan. This approach allows us to move beyond temporary solutions and focus on long-term improvement.

Dry Eyes Treatment Options

Dry eyes treatment is tailored to your specific condition and may involve a combination of therapies.

  • Artificial tears and prescription drops: To improve lubrication and reduce inflammation
  • IPL therapy: To restore oil gland function and reduce inflammation
  • Amniotic membrane treatment: To support the healing of the ocular surface in more advanced cases
  • Autologous serum tear drops: A regenerative option for severe or persistent symptoms
  • Scleral contact lenses: To protect and hydrate the surface of the eye

By combining treatments, we can address both the symptoms and the underlying causes of dry eye.
