Causes and Symptoms of Dry Eyes

There are many potential causes of dry eyes, ranging from certain prescription medications to wearing the wrong contact lenses. In some cases, dry eye can even be hereditary or caused by allergies. Regardless of the specific cause of your dry eye, some of the common symptoms you may be suffering from are likely to include:

  • burning and stinging eyes
  • excessively watery eyes
  • blurred vision
  • sensitivity to light
  • a feeling of sand or grittiness in the eyes

Treatment Options for Dry Eyes in FL

The good news is that if you're one of the millions who suffer from dry eyes, we offer a variety of treatment options to help you find relief. More than likely, you've already tried over-the-counter eye drops and found that they either didn't help at all or only provided you with short-term relief. Our treatments are dedicated to helping you find long-term relief from those uncomfortable symptoms.

We'll begin with an evaluation of your symptoms to determine the cause of your dry eye. This will guide our creation of a customized treatment plan. For example, if your dry eyes are caused by wearing the wrong type of contact lens, we may recommend switching to a medicated lens or a lens made specifically for those prone to dry eye before turning to other treatments.

Prescription eye drops are another possible treatment option to help you find relief, and we also offer innovative LipiFlow dry eye treatment technology in our office for more severe cases.
