At iSeeU Optometry in Palm Springs, CA, we understand the importance of addressing dry eyes comprehensively. If you're experiencing symptoms like dryness, irritation, redness, or a gritty sensation, our team is here to help you find relief. Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort and sometimes blurred vision.
Common Causes of Dry Eyes
Dry eyes can be triggered by various factors, including prolonged screen time, environmental conditions, aging, and certain medical conditions or medications. Hormonal changes and even contact lens use can also contribute to dryness.
Symptoms of Dry Eyes
Beyond the sensation of dryness, you may experience burning, itching, light sensitivity, or feeling as if something is in your eye. These symptoms can affect your daily comfort and vision quality.
Effective Treatment Options at iSeeU Optometry
We offer a range of treatments tailored to your specific needs, including:
- Artificial Tears and Lubricants: These provide quick relief for mild cases of dry eye.
- Prescription Medications: We can prescribe eye drops or medications that help increase tear production or reduce inflammation.
- LipiFlow Therapy: For patients with more severe dry eye, LipiFlow is an in-office treatment that uses gentle heat and pressure to open blocked tear glands.
