Discover Relief with Effective Dry Eye Treatment

If you’re experiencing discomfort, irritation, or blurred vision due to dry eyes, you’re in the right place to learn more about how to find relief.

What is Dry Eye?

Dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common eye condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Tears are crucial for maintaining the health of the eyes, providing moisture, nourishment, and a smooth optical surface. Dry eye can lead to discomfort, redness, blurred vision, and even damage to the surface of the eye if left untreated.

How can dry eye be treated?

There are a range of approaches aimed at alleviating the symptoms and underlying causes of dry eye. The goal is to restore the proper balance of tears and maintain eye comfort and health.

Artificial Tears

Over-the-counter lubricating eye drops can provide temporary relief by supplementing the natural tear film.

Prescription Eye Drops

In some cases, your eye care professional might recommend prescription eye drops that target inflammation and promote tear production.

Lifestyle Changes

Simple adjustments like increasing humidity in your environment, taking regular breaks during screen time, and staying hydrated can help manage dry eye symptoms.

Nutritional Supplements

Omega-3 fatty acids and other nutritional supplements may contribute to maintaining eye health and reducing dry eye symptoms.

Punctal Plugs

These tiny devices can be inserted into the tear ducts to slow down tear drainage, keeping the eyes moist for a longer duration.

LipiFlow®

A procedure that uses thermal pulsation to clear blocked meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily component of tears.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy​

IPL therapy can help manage inflammation around the eyes and improve tear gland function.

Amniotic Membrane Transplants

In severe cases, amniotic membrane transplantation can help promote healing of the ocular surface.
