What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. A healthy tear film is essential for keeping the eyes comfortable, clear, and protected.
When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to chronic irritation, fluctuating vision, and increased sensitivity.
Common Causes of Dry Eye
Dry eye can develop for several reasons, often as a combination of factors:
- Aging: Tear production naturally decreases over time.
- Screen Use: Reduced blinking during digital device use leads to faster tear evaporation.
- Environmental Factors: Air conditioning, wind, smoke, and dry climates contribute to irritation.
- Medications and Health Conditions: Certain medications and systemic conditions can affect tear production.
Symptoms of Dry Eye
Dry eye symptoms may seem mild at first, but they can worsen without proper treatment. Common signs include:
- Burning, stinging, or scratchy sensation
- Excessive tearing due to irritation
- Redness or discomfort throughout the day
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Light sensitivity
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses
Without treatment, chronic dry eye can affect the surface of the eye and impact long-term eye health.
Treating Dry Eye in Coral Springs
Treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms and the underlying cause. We offer a range of solutions designed for both immediate relief and long-term improvement.
Artificial Tears and Prescription Eye Drops
Lubricating drops can relieve mild symptoms. Prescription medications may be recommended to reduce inflammation and improve tear production.
Punctal Plug
These biocompatible devices are placed in the tear ducts to reduce drainage and keep your eyes hydrated longer. The procedure is quick and highly effective for many.
Meibomian Gland Expression
Blocked oil glands can lead to rapid tear evaporation. This in-office treatment gently clears the glands, helping restore a stable and healthy tear film.
Lifestyle and Nutritional Support
We provide practical recommendations to support long-term relief, including:
- Blinking strategies for screen use
- Omega-3 supplementation for tear quality
- Environmental adjustments to reduce dryness
