Dry Eye Evaluation and Treatment
Our doctors perform a thorough evaluation of the condition. They determine the level of advancement and build a customized plan for each individual patient. Treatments involve diagnostics as well as therapeutic methods involving blepharoexfoliation of the lids and lashes. Gentle heat is often used to melt away the hardened oil that is blocking the glands located at the base of the lashes.
Reasons Why Treating Your Dry Eyes Early is Extremely Important
Clear vision
Our tears protect the surface of the eye which allows for clear and comfortable vision. Without a stable healthy tear layer our vision will eventually suffer.
To prevent infections and inflammatory disorders
Dry Eye Syndrome is a precursor to eye infections and inflammatory disorders. These conditions worsen when they are present along with dry eyes.
Comfortable eyes
Dry Eye Syndrome is the cause of very uncomfortable eyes. It is the number one reason for discontinuing contact lens wear due to discomfort and blurred vision. The discomfort is from bare corneal nerves that aren’t submerged in our natural tears.
