Dry eye is much more than just “dryness,” or an insufficient production of tears. It is a very complex condition determined by the combination of multiple underlying issues affecting the tear film composition and ocular surface. Without taking the time and attention to determine the real cause, doctors and patients resort to a trial and error approach.
At your Dry Eye Evaluation we will do a comprehensive examination of everything that might affect the quality and quantity of your tears. We will work to determine what is truly causing your symptoms, and create a plan together to change the environment and stabilize your symptoms. The exam will be focused and you will be told a lot of information. The key is to not panic, trust that everything will be written down, and trust the plan. Dry eye success requires dedication to the treatment course. Though there is no cure for dry eye, if you commit to the treatment plan, you will experience success!
