Relieve Discomfort with Advanced Dry Eye Treatment
What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of tears is inadequate to keep your eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to discomfort, redness, and a gritty sensation. Factors such as aging, prolonged screen use, certain medical conditions, and environmental influences can contribute to dry eye.
Common Symptoms of Dry Eye:
- Persistent dryness, itching, or redness in the eyes.
- A gritty or sandy sensation.
- Blurred vision, especially after prolonged focus.
- Sensitivity to light or difficulty wearing contact lenses.
- Excessive tearing as a response to dryness.

FAQs
Dry eye can result from aging, hormonal changes, screen overuse, environmental factors, or underlying health conditions.
For mild cases, artificial tears may provide sufficient relief, but more advanced treatments are required for chronic or severe dry eye.
If left untreated, chronic dry eye can increase the risk of eye infections and damage the corneal surface.
