Dry eye is a multifactorial disease and requires a thorough evaluation to determine the cause and the best treatment options. Our dry evaluations are detailed and we use the latest technology to photograph your tear glands (meibography), tear film, and cornea to help restore your eyes to a more comfortable state.  

This is one of our most rewarding diseases to treat because it can significantly impact a patient's quality of vision and life.

 

What are the symptoms of dry eye?

Some of the common symptoms associated with dry eye are burning, gritty sensation, watery eyes, light sensitivity, pain, blurry or fluctuating vision, and redness.

​

What are the treatment options?

There are many good options! Our philosophy is to start with simple treatments first and work up the treatment ladder as we need to. However, it all depends on the severity of the disease.

Treatment options include:

• artificial tears

• punctal plugs

• prescription dry eye medications

• TearCare 

• Intense Pulsed Light

• nutritional supplements

• amniotic membranes

​

There is not one treatment that fits all so a personalized treatment approach is what we do best.
