Dry Eye Management at Elite Eyecare provides personalized treatment plans to relieve discomfort and restore eye health, addressing the root causes of dry eye for lasting relief.

What Is Dry Eye and Why It Needs Attention

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is insufficient to keep your eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to symptoms like irritation, redness, burning, a gritty sensation, and even blurred vision. If not properly managed, chronic dry eye can lead to damage to the corneal surface, increasing the risk of eye infections and impacting your vision.

Comprehensive Diagnosis for Effective Treatment

At Elite Eyecare, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing dry eye. Our in-depth evaluations include:

  • Tear film analysis to assess the quantity and quality of your tears
  • Meibomian gland evaluation to check for blockages or dysfunction
  • Ocular surface examination to identify any underlying inflammation or damage

By thoroughly understanding the specific causes of your dry eye, we can recommend the most effective treatment tailored to your individual needs.

Personalized Treatment Plans for Long-Term Relief

Dry eye can have many causes, from environmental factors to underlying health conditions like meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), autoimmune disorders, or medication side effects. Once we’ve identified the cause, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to address your symptoms and provide long-term relief. Treatment options may include:

  • Artificial tears or lubricating eye drops to improve tear production
  • Prescription medications to reduce inflammation and promote healthy tear production
  • Punctal plugs to conserve natural tears by blocking tear drainage
  • Lid hygiene therapy to unclog oil glands and reduce irritation

Our goal is to provide immediate relief from your symptoms while addressing the root cause of your dry eye to prevent recurrence.

Advanced Dry Eye Therapies

For patients with more severe or chronic dry eye, Elite Eyecare offers advanced treatments, including:

  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, which can treat inflammation and improve the function of meibomian glands
  • Thermal therapies that help restore proper tear production by unclogging blocked glands

These therapies provide lasting relief for patients with more complex cases of dry eye and help restore comfort and clarity to your vision.

Ongoing Monitoring and Care

Dry eye is a chronic condition for many individuals, which is why ongoing management is crucial. Our team will work with you to monitor the progress of your treatment and make adjustments as needed to ensure you continue to experience relief. Regular follow-up visits will help us track improvements in your tear production and overall eye health.

Who Should Seek Dry Eye Management?

If you’re experiencing persistent dryness, irritation, burning, or blurred vision, or if over-the-counter drops aren’t providing relief, it’s time to seek professional Dry Eye Management. Even mild symptoms can escalate if left untreated, so it’s important to address the issue early to protect your eye health and comfort.
