Dry eyes can be more than just an annoyance—they can affect your daily life and overall eye health. At Premier Eyecare of Arizona, we understand how uncomfortable dry eye symptoms can be, from constant irritation to blurry vision. That’s why we offer a range of effective treatments tailored to provide lasting relief and improve your eye comfort.
How Dry Eye Can Affect Your Eye Health and Daily Life
Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes feeling dry, scratchy, or irritated. Common symptoms include redness, a burning sensation, sensitivity to light, and the feeling of something gritty in your eyes. Dry eye can be caused by various factors, including age, prolonged screen use, certain medications, and environmental conditions.
Our Dry Eye Treatment Options at Premier Eyecare of Arizona
We offer several treatments to address the different causes of dry eye and provide relief:
- Artificial Tears and Medicated Eye Drops: These are often the first line of treatment for mild dry eye, helping to lubricate the eyes and provide quick relief from dryness and irritation.
- Punctal Plugs: For more persistent cases, punctal plugs can be inserted into the tear ducts to help retain moisture on the eye surface by preventing tears from draining away too quickly.
- Lumenis Optilight: Our version of intense pulsed light therapy. This treatment uses pulses of light to reduce inflammation and improve the function of the meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of your tears. IPL is particularly effective for patients with moderate to severe dry eye.
- Amniotic Membranes: These are used in cases of severe dry eye that have not responded to other treatments. The membranes promote healing and reduce inflammation on the eye's surface, relieving chronic dryness and irritation.
