Symptoms of Dry Eyes

If tears do not sufficiently lubricate the eyes, you may experience:

• -- Blurry vision



• -- Redness


• -- Sensitivity to light

How to Relieve & Treat Dry Eye Symptoms

Here are a few tips on how to treat this common eye problem:

• -- Purchase an eye ointment or artificial tear drops. Our doctors can give you their recommendations on the best brands to meet your needs.


• -- Try a stronger dose of eye drops, such as Restasis, which is FDA approved. This treatment helps people who suffer from chronic dry eye, and also increases tear production.


• -- Other procedures can be performed if necessary, such as temporary punctual occlusion or permanent punctual occlusion. Our doctors can determine if either of these options are right for you.


• -- You may need certain medications or surgery if your symptoms are not relieved from the previous treatment options. Our doctors will fully and carefully evaluate your symptoms to determine the best treatment.
