Local dry eye clinic offers in-depth help
Dry eye disease is a common problem that affects millions of Americans of all ages. Being female puts you at greater risk for dry eye, as well as being over age 50. Pregnancy, hormonal birth control and menopause can also lower tear production.
There is so much to the story of why a person has dry eyes, and each patient is unique. At our Dry Eye Clinic, we look at how your eyes produce and flush away tears, the quality of the tears your eyes make, how long or short tears stay in your eyes, your tear drainage system and many other details of your eye health.
Once we know your eyes’ unique circumstances, the prescription treatment options are vast: from flushing tear ducts to inserting teeny-tiny plugs, to an array of prescription eye drops, there are numerous treatments that go beyond what you can find at the grocery store.
We hold our Dry Eye Clinic three times a month. If you regularly experience sore, red, itchy eyes or have trouble wearing contact lenses, you may have dry eye disease. Our dry eye experts, Dr. Lancaster and Dr. Molodyh, will look into your condition and give you comfort. Anyone can make an appointment, and no referrals are necessary; all patients are welcome regardless of where you receive eye care.
