What is dry eye?
Dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn’t have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye.

- Sensitivity to light

Environmental factors, digital screens, and medical conditions can lead to dry, uncomfortable eyes. Advanced dry eyes may damage the front surface of the eye and impair vision.
The good news is that there are a variety of treatment options to restore comfortable eyes.
- Drops – Over the counter and prescription lubrication eye drops can bring relief.
- Prevent Tear Loss – Tear ducts can be blocked to prevent loss of vital protein-rich tears.
- Nutrition – Taking an omega-3 fatty acid nutritional supplement may help.
- Eye Massage – A gentle procedure can invigorate the glands needed for good tear production and restore natural, lubricating functions of the eyes.
