What Causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye symptoms can have multiple causes.

As we age, tear production declines, which is why chronic dryness is common in older adults. Some medications—like antihistamines—or health issues, such as Sjogren’s syndrome, can disrupt tear production. Environmental factors—like wind, dry air, or air conditioning—can worsen symptoms. 

Certain eye conditions, like meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), blepharitis, or ocular rosacea, can also cause inflammation or irritation that impacts your tear quality. 

We’re here to help you determine what’s causing your symptoms and develop a treatment plan that works.

Our Approach to Longer-Lasting Relief

Dry eye is complex, so we take a comprehensive approach. Your symptoms are unique, and your relief may need a combination of therapies or medications. 

We offer a variety of treatments to alleviate dry eye symptoms, including:

• Prescription Medications: We can prescribe eye drops that help lubricate your eyes and reduce inflammation.
• Punctal Plugs: These tiny devices can be inserted into your tear ducts to help reduce tear evaporation.

By combining treatments and lifestyle modifications, we can help you achieve long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
