What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears produced are of poor quality, leading to discomfort and potential damage to the eye’s surface. Common causes of dry eye include:

• Insufficient Tear Production: When tear glands do not produce enough tears to keep the eyes moist.

• Poor-Quality Tears: Tears that evaporate too quickly or do not provide sufficient lubrication.

• Environmental Factors: Exposure to dry or windy conditions, smoke, or air conditioning.

• Medications: Certain medications that can reduce tear production.

• Medical Conditions: Conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis that affect tear production.

Symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome

• Persistent dryness or a scratchy feeling in the eyes

• Burning or stinging sensations

• Redness or irritation

• Sensitivity to light

• Watery eyes as a response to irritation

• Difficulty wearing contact lenses

Our Approach to Dry Eye Treatment

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a detailed eye exam to identify the underlying causes of your dry eye symptoms and determine their severity.

2. Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your specific needs, we develop a treatment plan that may include:

   • Artificial Tears: Prescribed or over-the-counter eye drops to provide temporary relief and lubrication.

   • Anti-Inflammatory Medications: Medications to help reduce inflammation and improve tear production.

   • Punctal Plugs: Small devices placed in the tear ducts to help retain moisture on the eye’s surface.

   • Lipid-Based Eye Drops: Eye drops designed to stabilize the tear film and reduce evaporation.

   • Lifestyle and Environmental Adjustments: Recommendations to minimize exposure to irritants and improve your environment for better eye comfort.

   • Meibomian Gland Expression: A procedure to help relieve blocked oil glands in the eyelids, improving the quality of your tears.

3. Patient Education: We offer guidance on managing dry eye syndrome, including tips for eye care, lifestyle adjustments, and proper use of prescribed treatments.
