Dry Eyes

Are you suffering from dry eye symptoms?

In order to maintain proper hydration and lubrication, your eyes require tears. Your tears consist of three layers, which include a predominantly watery layer, an oily layer, and a layer of mucus. When this balance is disrupted, dry eye can occur as a result.

Common symptoms of dry eyes are:

• stinging
• burning
• redness
• excessive watering
• production of mucus

In more severe cases, dry eye can also cause blurred vision, eye fatigue, and sensitivity to light. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk with us during your next appointment to talk about options for relief.

Dry Eye Treatment Options

If your eyes are dry due to a medical condition, our team will focus treatment efforts on addressing the underlying cause. DRS NAMES might recommend a change in medication or lifestyle adjustments to support optimal eye health. In some cases, prescription medication is recommended for dry eye relief.

Our team will discuss what to expect and how these different treatment options can stimulate your tear production or reduce inflammation for clear, comfortable vision. To learn more about how we can help you find dry eye relief, schedule an appointment with our office today.
