Dry Eye

Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye is a condition where your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right quality of tears, causing discomfort and vision issues. Common side effects of dry eye syndrome are:

  • A stinging or burning sensation in the eyes
  • Redness of the eyes
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Blurred vision
  • A scratchy or gritty feeling, as if something is in the eye
  • Difficulty wearing contact lenses
  • Watery eyes, which is a response to irritation

Punctal Plugs

Punctal plugs are tiny devices inserted into the tear ducts to block drainage, helping to retain moisture on the eye surface and alleviate dry eye symptoms

Lid Hygiene

Lid hygiene for dry eye involves regularly cleaning your eyelids and lashes to remove debris and reduce inflammation, helping to improve tear quality and eye comfort.

Oral Medications

Ocular medications for dry eye help reduce inflammation and increase tear production to alleviate symptoms.

Prescription Eye Drops

Prescription eye drops for dry eye, like cyclosporine (Restasis), lifitegrast (Xiidra), and Xdemvy, help reduce inflammation and boost tear production to relieve symptoms.

Scleral Contact Lenses

Scleral contacts are large lenses that cover the entire cornea, creating a moisture-rich environment that helps alleviate dry eye symptoms by protecting the eye and retaining moisture
