Tired of Dry, Gritty, or Burning Eyes?
If your eyes often feel dry, irritated, or watery, you might be dealing with Dry Eye Syndrome—a common but often overlooked condition. Our dry eye assessment pinpoints the cause and gives you a clear path to relief.
What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when your tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to:
- Stinging or burning sensations
- Redness or itchiness
- Blurry vision that improves when blinking
- Sensitivity to light
- Excessive tearing (your eyes trying to overcompensate)
What Causes Dry Eyes?
- Screen time / reduced blinking
- Aging
- Contact lens wear
- Certain medications
- Hormonal changes
- Autoimmune conditions (like Sjögren’s syndrome)
What to Expect in a Dry Eye Assessment
We’ll examine both the quantity and quality of your tears using:
- Tear break-up time (how fast your tears evaporate)
- Staining tests to check for damage on the eye surface
- Meibomian gland evaluation (these glands keep your tears stable)
- Schirmer’s test to measure tear production
- A full review of symptoms and lifestyle triggers
Customized Treatment Plan
Depending on your results, we’ll recommend:
- Artificial tears or prescription eye drops
- Warm compresses and eyelid hygiene routines
- Omega-3 supplements
- Punctal plugs (to help tears stay longer)
- In-office treatments for clogged glands (if needed)
Relief Is Possible
Dry eye can affect everything—from work to sleep to daily comfort. A proper assessment is the first step to lasting relief.
Don’t ignore it—let’s get your eyes feeling better.
