Dry Eye

Dry eye syndrome, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common condition characterized by a lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and in severe cases, damage to the cornea.

Our focus is on diagnosing, managing, and treating dry eye disease, a common condition characterized by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality.

Here's an overview of what this service entails:

• Patient Evaluation & Diagnosis: Patients experiencing symptoms of dry eye, such as dryness, irritation, redness, burning, or fluctuating vision, undergo a comprehensive eye examination. This includes assessing tear film stability, measuring tear production and quality, evaluating ocular surface health, and identifying any underlying contributing factors, such as meibomian gland dysfunction or autoimmune conditions
• Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the specific needs and underlying causes of each patient's dry eye.
• Patient Education & Support: Educating patients about the nature of dry eye disease, its potential causes and exacerbating factors, and the importance of adhering to treatment recommendations is crucial for successful management. Providing guidance on proper eye care practices and lifestyle modifications empowers patients to actively participate in their own eye health.
• Long-term Management & Follow-up: Dry eye is often a chronic condition that requires ongoing management and monitoring. Regular follow-up appointments allow for adjustments to treatment plans based on the patient's response and any changes in symptoms or ocular health.

By offering dry eye services, our aim is to improve patients' comfort, alleviate symptoms, and preserve ocular surface health, ultimately enhancing their overall quality of life.
