Dry Eye Evaluations
Comfortable eyes are the foundation of healthy vision. If your eyes feel dry, tired, irritated, watery, or fluctuate throughout the day, a comprehensive dry eye evaluation can help uncover the underlying cause and guide personalized treatment.
Dry eye disease is one of the most common yet frequently overlooked eye conditions. While many people assume dry eye simply means a lack of tears, the condition is often caused by changes in the quality of your tears, inflammation of the ocular surface, dysfunction of the meibomian (oil) glands, or an unstable tear film. Left untreated, dry eye can affect your vision, comfort, contact lens wear, and even the long-term health of your eyes.
Symptoms may include:
Dryness or grittiness
Burning or stinging
Excessive tearing or watery eyes
Fluctuating or blurry vision
Light sensitivity
Eye fatigue
Contact lens discomfort
Red or irritated eyes
Our dry eye evaluation goes far beyond a routine eye examination. We combine advanced diagnostic technology with a personalized assessment to determine the root cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your eyes.
Your evaluation may include:
Meibography to evaluate the health and structure of your meibomian (oil) glands
Corneal and ocular surface evaluation to assess damage caused by dryness and inflammation
Tear film analysis to evaluate tear quality and stability
Blink analysis to determine whether incomplete blinking is contributing to dry eye
Anterior segment photography and video imaging to document findings and monitor treatment progress
Lid margin evaluation for blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) Assessment of environmental, medical, hormonal, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your symptoms
