Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Tears are essential for maintaining eye health, clear vision, and overall comfort. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to irritation and inflammation.

Dry eye disease can affect your comfort, focus, and quality of life. Effective treatment can bring lasting relief.

What to Know

Dry Eye Disease

  • Dry, gritty, or burning sensation
  • Red or irritated eyes
  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Watery eyes (a response to dryness)
  • Eye fatigue, especially during screen use

Dry eye can develop from a variety of factors, including:

  • Aging
  • Hormonal changes
  • Extended screen time
  • Environmental conditions (wind, dry air)
  • Contact lens use
  • Certain medications

 

Dry eye disease can affect anyone, but it is more common in:

  • Adults over 40
  • Women, especially during hormonal changes
  • Individuals who spend long hours on digital devices
  • People with certain medical conditions

At our Dry Eye Spa, we take a personalized approach to identify the root cause of your dry eye and create a targeted treatment plan.

Treatment options may include:

  • Specialized dry eye evaluations
  • Prescription or therapeutic eye drops
  • Tear film and gland function support
  • Lifestyle and environmental recommendations

Left untreated, Dry Eye Disease can worsen over time and impact daily activities like reading, driving, and working on screens. Early care can improve comfort, protect eye health, and restore quality of life.
