Tailored Dry Eye Treatments for Optimal Comfort
What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren't able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. This can be due to insufficient tear production or poor-quality tears. Dry eye can cause a lot of discomfort, including itching, redness, a gritty feeling, and overall irritation. In severe cases, it can also impact vision.
DES Causes and Risk Factors:
Factors contributing to dry eye include aging, hormonal changes, environmental conditions like wind and dry climates, long periods of screen use without breaks, and certain medications. Underlying health conditions such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis can also increase the risk.
Advanced Care for Managing and Treating Dry Eye
Treatments may include artificial tear drops, prescription eye drops that help increase tear production, or procedures to block tear ducts to decrease tear loss. Additionally, we may recommend lifestyle changes, such as increasing humidity in your home or office, wearing sunglasses outdoors to reduce exposure to wind and sun, and taking regular screen breaks to lessen eye strain.
