Everyday Eye Care
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye is one of the most common — and most treatable — reasons for daily eye discomfort. The key is understanding what’s actually causing your symptoms, then treating the cause, not just the feeling.
Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t make enough tears, or the tears they make aren’t the right quality to keep the surface comfortable. It can cause burning, grittiness, redness, blurry vision that comes and goes, and — surprisingly — watery, tearing eyes.
There’s no single cause, and no single fix. Screen time, age, medications, contact lenses, prior eye procedures, and other conditions can all play a part. That’s why our approach starts with finding the reason behind your symptoms, so treatment actually solves the problem.
Our Approach
Relief that starts with the cause
Once we understand what’s driving your dry eye, we build a plan around it — often combining a few approaches for lasting comfort.
A thorough evaluation
We assess your tear quality, the surface of your eye, and the factors in your life that may contribute.
Prescription treatments
Medications that help your eyes produce healthier, longer-lasting tears.
In-office therapies
Targeted treatments for the glands and surface of the eye when drops alone aren’t enough.
Everyday guidance
Simple, practical changes — from screen habits to environment — that make a real difference.
Common Questions
Questions patients ask
Why do my eyes water if they’re “dry”?
It sounds backward, but poor-quality tears can trigger your eyes to overproduce watery tears that don’t soothe the surface. Treating the underlying dryness often calms the tearing.
Will I need drops forever?
Not always. Some patients need ongoing treatment, while others improve with in-office therapy and lifestyle changes. We’ll tailor the plan to you.
