If you’re seeking relief from dry eyes, we are here to provide compassionate care and a seamless patient experience.
What Causes Dry Eyes?
Dry eyes occur when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can result from a variety of factors, including aging, environmental conditions, medical conditions (like autoimmune disease), prolonged screen use, certain medications, hormonal changes, or underlying conditions like anterior blepharitis, aqueous tear deficiency, and Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). MGD, in particular, is a common cause of dry eyes, as it prevents the glands in your eyelids from producing the necessary oils to keep your tears from evaporating too quickly.
Innovative Treatments for Lasting Comfort
At Caruana Eye Care, we offer a range of advanced treatments to address the root causes of dry eyes. There are many prescription treatments for severe dry eye available, each potentially addressing different causes of dry eye disease. Dr. Caruana also offers Lacrifill, which helps retain moisture in the eyes and is a useful adjunct for patients already using eyedrops. For patients with Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), we provide the TearCare Eye Treatment, which uses gentle heat and massage to unclog the glands and restore proper tear production. This innovative approach targets the source of the problem, offering long-term relief.
For more severe cases, we offer cutting-edge solutions like Serum Tears, a natural tear substitute made from the patient’s own blood serum. These treatments are designed to provide relief for even the most persistent symptoms, improving both comfort and quality of life.
Recognizing the Signs of Dry Eyes
Dry eyes can present in many ways, including irritation, redness, a gritty sensation, or blurred vision. You may also notice sensitivity to light, difficulty wearing contact lenses, or excessive tearing as your eyes attempt to compensate for dryness. Some symptoms are far more subtle, like a rapid sense of fatigue or intermittent blurred vision while reading or using the computer. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional care to avoid increasing discomfort and protect the long term health of your tear glands and prevent progressive worsening of dry eye.
