Hormonal changes
Allergies
Certain medication
The aging process
Blepharitis (Inflamed eyelid glands)
Meibomian gland dysfunction
Some autoimmune diseases
Environmental conditions
Prolonged periods of screen time
Extended use of contact lenses

Symptoms

Common symptoms of dry eye disease may include:

Issues wearing contact lenses
Mucus in or around your eyes
Light sensitivity
Red or pink eyes
Stinging or burning
Blurry vision
Fatigued eyes

Hydrated Eyes Are Happy Eyes

Treatment options can vary depending on the cause of your condition, and they can include prescription eye drops, warm compresses, and eyelid cleaners. In more severe cases, your optometrist may recommend blocking tear ducts, commonly known as punctal plugging.

Dry, irritated eyes can get in the way of a great day. We can help! You deserve relief, so give us a call today and experience your personalized dry eye therapy treatment.
