Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren’t able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. This can be due to insufficient tear production or poor quality of tears that evaporate too quickly. Symptoms of dry eye can include a stinging or burning sensation, itchiness, redness, blurred vision, and discomfort when wearing contact lenses, often leading to increased sensitivity to light or the feeling of having something in your eyes. Various factors contribute to dry eye, including aging, environmental conditions, certain medications, and prolonged screen use, which can exacerbate the discomfort and impact daily activities.
At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye, tailored to address the unique needs of each patient. Our treatment strategies range from lifestyle changes, such as reducing screen time and using humidifiers, to medical treatments including artificial tear drops, prescription eye drops that enhance tear production, or punctal plugs designed to prevent tear drainage and help maintain eye moisture. We also provide advice on nutritional supplements that support eye health and may recommend specific eyelid hygiene techniques or therapies to improve oil gland function. Our team is dedicated to providing relief and improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from dry eye syndrome, employing the latest research and technologies to ensure the best possible care. Let us help you find the most effective solution to manage your dry eye symptoms and restore comfort to your eyes.
