A Thoughtful Plan, Not Just Drops
Our Approach to Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye treatment is most effective when it is personalized. Our eye doctors evaluate tear quality, eyelid health, inflammation, and lifestyle factors before recommending a plan. Rather than relying on a single solution, we build a structured approach based on the severity of your symptoms.
Finding the Right Drops
Artificial tears are often recommended for mild to moderate dry eye. Choosing the right type depends on your symptoms and daily routine. Our team explains how and when to use these options for the most benefit.
Addressing Inflammation
For patients with dry eye linked to inflammation, prescription medications can help. Anti-inflammatory eye drops and sprays are designed to improve tear production and calm irritation on the eye's surface.
Supporting Lid and Surface Health
Healthy eyelids play an important role in tear quality. In some cases, our team may recommend lid hygiene products such as Ocusoft to help reduce irritation, debris, and inflammation along the eyelids.
Contacts That Support Comfort
We offer daily disposable lenses, which reduce buildup and irritation, silicone hydrogel lenses, to allow more oxygen to reach the eyes, and scleral lenses for patients with more severe dryness.
For those with chronic dryness
In-Office Dry Eye Support
For patients with ongoing or more severe symptoms, in-office treatments may be recommended. Punctal plugs help retain natural tears by slowing drainage, allowing moisture to remain on the surface of the eye longer.
In select cases, amniotic membranes may be used to protect and support healing of the ocular surface when dryness has caused significant irritation or surface damage. These treatments are carefully considered based on your individual condition and long-term eye health goals.
