Find solutions for dry, itchy eyes with our empathetic approach.

Let's break down some common dry eye symptoms and how we can tackle them.

arrow-down-right Eyelid Inflammation (Blepharitis):

Blepharitis is like the unruly cousin causing chaos at the family picnic. It contributes to dry eye syndrome by throwing the eyelid oil glands out of whack. Prescription antibiotics or steroid eye drops can help cool things down and get those glands back in line.

arrow-down-right Corneal Damage:

Dry eyes on repeat can lead to long-term corneal damage, also known as ocular surface disease. We usually bring corticosteroids to the rescue! While these can tackle inflammation in the short term, we'll also keep an eye on things to avoid unwanted pressure buildup in your eyes.

arrow-down-right Eye Redness:

Red eyes are a cause for concern, but is it just a temporary hitch or a bigger issue like conjunctivitis? If dry eye is the problem, over-the-counter eye drops may offer a quick fix.

arrow-down-right Contact Lens Discomfort:

Contact lenses and dry eyes often play uncomfortably together like oil and water. Fear not; we have treatment options to make your lenses feel less like a burden and more like a blessing.

arrow-down-right Too Few Tears:

For those not producing enough tears, inserts in the lower eyelid can work wonders. These inserts dissolve slowly, providing a continuous flow of relief. Plus, we might recommend tear-producing medications in various forms.
