Dry Eye Treatment

WHAT IS DRY EYE?

Dry eye is a common condition that happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This tear imbalance leads to inflammation and irritation of the eye’s surface. If left untreated, dry eye can impact your comfort, vision, and overall eye health, making daily tasks like reading, driving, or wearing contact lenses more difficult.

Common Symptoms

Dry eye can feel different for everyone. Some people experience a constant sensation of dryness or grittiness, while others notice excessive tearing as their eyes attempt to compensate.

Other common symptoms include:

Burning or stinging sensations
Eye redness and irritation
Light sensitivity
Blurry or fluctuating vision
A feeling like something is in your eye
Difficulty wearing contact lenses for long periods

If these symptoms sound familiar, you may be experiencing chronic dry eye.​​​​​​​

Contributing Factors

Dry eye can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Aging, especially hormonal changes after menopause

Long hours on digital devices
(which can reduce blink rate)

Contact lens wear

Environmental conditions such as wind, dry climates, or smoke exposure

Certain medications like antihistamines, antidepressants, or blood pressure medications

Autoimmune conditions such as Sjogren's syndrome

Identifying the root cause of your symptoms is the first step to finding long-term relief.

Prescription Dry Eye Therapies

At our practice, we offer a full range of prescription-based dry eye therapies designed to treat the underlying causes of dryness—not just the symptoms. Our doctors perform a thorough evaluation to determine the specific type and severity of each patient’s dry eye, then recommend targeted medical treatments to improve comfort, protect the ocular surface, and support long-term eye health.

This personalized, medically guided approach ensures patients receive effective relief and a clear path toward healthier, more comfortable vision. Commonly prescribed therapies include; Meibo, Tyrvaya, Xiidra, Cequa, Restasis and others.

Punctual Plugs


Punctal plugs are a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment option for patients whose dry eye symptoms stem from rapid tear evaporation or inadequate tear volume.

These tiny, biocompatible inserts are gently placed into the eye’s tear drainage ducts to help retain natural tears on the ocular surface longer, improving moisture, comfort, and overall tear film stability. For many patients, punctal plugs offer a simple, in-office solution that provides lasting relief and supports healthier, more comfortable vision.
