Dry eye is a common and often frustrating condition that occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or produce poor-quality tears, resulting in discomfort, irritation, and even vision problems. We understand how important clear, comfortable vision is for your quality of life. Our office recommends treatments to help alleviate dry eye symptoms and restore eye health.
Dry eye is a chronic condition that happens when your eyes can't maintain a healthy tear film, which is essential for keeping the surface of your eyes smooth, clear, and comfortable. This condition may be caused by factors like age, environmental exposure, contact lens use, or medical conditions, and it can impact people of all ages.
Dry eye symptoms vary in severity and may include:
Burning or stinging sensations
Redness and irritation
Blurred or fluctuating vision
Sensitivity to light
Feeling like there’s something in your eye
Watery eyes (from reflex tearing)
