Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eyes can be more than just a minor inconvenience—they can significantly impact your quality of life. If you’re experiencing persistent dryness, redness, burning, or a gritty sensation in your eyes, you may have dry eye syndrome. While over-the-counter drops can provide temporary relief, they often don’t address the underlying causes. That’s why a tailored treatment plan is essential for long-term comfort and eye health.
At Eyemotivate Eye Care & Eyewear Gallery, we specialize in diagnosing and treating dry eye syndrome. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify the root cause of your symptoms—whether it’s a tear production issue, tear evaporation, or meibomian gland dysfunction—and create a personalized treatment plan to restore your comfort and improve your vision.
What Causes Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye can occur for several reasons, including:
- Tear Film Imbalance: An inadequate or poor-quality tear film can lead to insufficient eye lubrication.
- Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): Blocked oil glands in the eyelids can cause tears to evaporate too quickly.
- Environmental Factors: Wind, smoke, air conditioning, and screen time can contribute to dryness.
- Hormonal Changes: Aging, menopause, or certain medications can affect tear production.
- Underlying Health Conditions: Conditions like autoimmune disorders, rosacea, or diabetes are often linked to dry eye.
