What Causes Dry Eyes?

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can result from factors like aging, prolonged screen time, environmental conditions, or underlying medical issues. Symptoms often include dryness, redness, irritation, sensitivity to light, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. Left untreated, dry eyes can impact your quality of life and even lead to complications.

Comprehensive Dry Eye Treatments

At Atlantic Eye Care & Spa, our optometry team takes a personalized approach to dry eye care, tailoring treatments to your specific needs. Our comprehensive options include:

1.            Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy: IPL is a cutting-edge treatment that targets inflammation and improves the function of the meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of your tears. By reducing inflammation and restoring gland function, IPL can provide long-term relief for patients with evaporative dry eye.

2.            Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy: RF therapy uses gentle heat to stimulate collagen production and improve the health of the eyelid tissues. This treatment can enhance the function of the meibomian glands, promoting better tear quality and reducing symptoms of dry eye.

3.            Artificial Tears: Over-the-counter or prescription eye drops can supplement your natural tears and provide temporary relief from dryness.

4.            Prescription Medications: Certain medications can help increase tear production or reduce inflammation in the tear glands.

5.            Punctal Plugs: These tiny devices are inserted into the tear ducts to help retain moisture on the eye’s surface, providing relief for patients with severe dryness.

6.            Lifestyle Adjustments: Simple changes, like taking breaks during screen time, using a humidifier, or staying hydrated, can also help manage symptoms.
