Understanding Dry Eye and Modern Treatment Options

If your eyes often feel watery, gritty, tired, or irritated, you may be experiencing dry eye disease. This condition happens when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears to keep the surface of your eyes healthy and comfortable. Factors like increased screen time, aging, contact lens wear, or even certain environments can all make symptoms worse. Left untreated, dry eye can impact not just comfort, but also daily vision clarity and long-term eye health.

The good news is that dry eye is highly manageable with today’s advanced treatment options. Beyond artificial tears, we now have in-office therapies that address the root cause of dry eye, such as blocked oil glands in the eyelids. Treatments like intense pulsed light (IPL) and radiofrequency (RF) therapy can help restore healthy tear film function, while at-home options like warm compresses, eyelid cleansers, and omega-3 supplements provide ongoing support. Our goal is to create a personalized care plan that helps you achieve lasting relief and healthier vision.
