Dry eye affects many people, especially those who wear contact lenses, have had Lasik , or other eye surgeries.
It is more common in women and tends to worsen with age.
Dry eye symptoms may include:
  • Dry or irritated eyes
  • Gritty or sandy feeling
  • Burning or itching
  • Redness
  • Eye pain or tired eyes
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Blurry or changing vision
  • Excessive tearing
  • Contact lens discomfort

Dry eye happens when the eyes do not make enough tears , or when tears dry up too quickly.
Healthy tears have three parts:
  • Mucin – helps tears spread evenly
  • Water – keeps the eyes moist
  • Oil – prevents tears from drying out

Treatment options depend on how severe your symptoms are and may include:
  • Artificial tear drops
  • Prescription eye medications
  • Omega-3 supplements
  • Tear duct plugs to help keep moisture in the eyes

Get relief from dry eye ask Dr. Tsiftilis about a treatment plan designed for your specific needs!
