What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears don’t maintain the right balance of water, oil, and mucus. Common factors contributing to dry eye include:
- Environmental influences: Dry climates, wind, and screen time
- Aging: Tear production often decreases with age
- Health conditions: Allergies, certain autoimmune diseases, and hormonal changes
Tears play an essential role in keeping your eyes comfortable and your vision clear.
Understanding Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) can sound complicated, but we’re here to simplify it and help you understand how it affects your eyes.
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic and progressive condition affecting the function of the tiny meibomian glands that line your eyelids. These glands produce the tear film’s oily layer, which is essential for preventing your tears from evaporating too quickly.
MGD symptoms can include:
- Watery eyes
- Blurry vision
- Discomfort wearing contact lenses or eye makeup
Our Dry Eye Treatment Options
We offer a range of solutions, from simple lifestyle changes and eye drops to in-office treatments. After examining your eyes, our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan suited to your daily needs.
Our goal is to provide lasting relief that soothes your eyes and improves comfort. Together, we’ll find the best approach to manage your symptoms and support your lifestyle.
Warm compresses help unblock and stimulate the meibomian glands to improve oil production for a healthier tear film.
Applying warmth helps softens blockages, while regular cleaning prevents buildup, helping relieve irritation and dryness. This easy at-home method supports long-term gland health with minimal effort.
Omega-3 supplements support tear quality and reduce inflammation naturally. The anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3s, often found in fish oil, can improve meibomian gland function for more stable tears.
Convenient and easy to add to your daily routine, they can help provide sustained improvement for dry eye symptoms.
Prescription eye drops help boost natural tear production and reduce inflammation. Drops like cyclosporine can help keep eyes hydrated and comfortable. With regular use, they offer reliable relief, helping to manage dry eye symptoms effectively.
Punctal plugs help your natural tears stay on the eye longer. By inserting tiny plugs into the tear drainage ducts, tear drainage is slowed, keeping eyes naturally moisturized. This treatment reduces the need for frequent artificial tears, providing long-lasting moisture and comfort.
