Say Goodbye to Dry Eye with Our Specialized Care
For many, the quest for clear, comfortable vision takes them to their eye doctor’s doorstep. Dry eye is one of the most common reasons patients seek help, and our eye care team in Branford is here to provide solutions that offer hope and lasting relief.
Dry Eye Syndrome Explained
Dry eye is a complex condition where your eyes either don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to an inadequate tear film, causing discomfort and potential damage to the front surface of your eyes.
There are different types of dry eye:
- Evaporative Dry Eye: This type occurs when the oil glands in your eyelids (meibomian glands) don’t produce enough oil to prevent the tears from evaporating too quickly. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common cause of evaporative dry eye.
- Aqueous-Deficient Dry Eye: In this type, your eyes don’t produce enough of the watery component of tears, which is necessary for maintaining a stable tear film.
Recognizing the Signs of Dry Eye
- A persistent dry sensation in the eyes
- Burning or stinging sensation
- Feeling like there’s something in your eye
- Blurry vision due to unstable tear film
- Eye fatigue
- Watery eyes
- Sensitivity to light
- Unusual discharge from the eyes
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses
