Symptoms of Dry Eye
Many patients dismiss dry eye symptoms as minor irritation, but without treatment, the condition can worsen.
Signs You May Have Dry Eye Syndrome:
- Burning, stinging, or scratchy sensation in the eyes
- Excessive tearing (a reflex response to irritation)
- Redness or a feeling of something stuck in your eye
- Blurry vision that improves with blinking
- Light sensitivity and difficulty wearing contact lenses
If left untreated, chronic dry eye can lead to corneal damage and an increased risk of eye infections.

Dry Eye Treatment Options
The severity of symptoms and underlying cause determine dry eye treatment. Our solutions range from simple lifestyle modifications to advanced in-office procedures.
Artificial Tears & Prescription Eye Drops
Lubricating eye drops or artificial tears can relieve mild dry eyes. We may prescribe anti-inflammatory eye drops for more severe cases to improve tear production and reduce irritation.
Punctal Plugs for Tear Retention
Punctal plugs are tiny, biocompatible devices inserted into the tear ducts to slow tear drainage, keeping the eyes hydrated for longer. This minimally invasive, painless procedure is an excellent option for chronic dry eye sufferers.
Meibomian Gland Expression for Oil Deficiency
Blocked meibomian glands prevent the release of essential oils needed to stabilize the tear film. We use a gentle, in-office procedure called meibomian gland expression to unblock these glands, restoring healthy tear production.
Lifestyle & Nutritional Recommendations
Simple daily changes can significantly reduce dry eye symptoms. We provide:
- Blinking exercises to reduce eye strain from digital screens
- Omega-3 supplements to improve tear quality
- Humidifier recommendations to reduce environmental dryness
