FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS

Dry eye occurs when the eyes don’t produce enough quality tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to irritation, redness, blurred vision, and discomfort. It is a common condition, particularly among older adults, and can become chronic.

For mild cases, you can try:

  • Blinking regularly when using screens
  • Increasing humidity in your environment
  • Wearing sunglasses outside to reduce sun and wind exposure
  • Taking omega-3 supplements
  • Staying hydrated
    Also, check if any of your medications contribute to dry eye.

  • Artificial Tears: Over-the-counter eye drops can help. Low-viscosity drops provide quick relief, while high-viscosity drops offer longer-lasting lubrication.
  • Prescription Treatments: For more severe dry eye, specialty contact lenses, anti-inflammatory medications, and eye inserts may be recommended. Tear-stimulating drugs and autologous serum drops can be considered for persistent cases.
  • Dry Eye Procedures: Punctal plugs, LipiFlow thermal pulsation, and intense-pulsed light therapy help reduce symptoms by addressing the root causes of dry eye.
