Symptoms, causes and latest treatments

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly.

Dry eye symptoms can include redness, irritation, burning, itching, and sensitivity to light. Dry eye can also cause vision problems, such as blurred vision and difficulty wearing contact lenses.

Many factors can contribute to dry eye, including age, medications, medical conditions, and environmental factors. Eye care professionals must diagnose and treat dry eye effectively to improve patient outcomes and prevent long-term eye damage.

Dry Eye Treatments?

  • What Can be Done?

    Effective treatment for dry eye depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.

    There are several treatment options available, including over-the-counter and prescription eye drops, meibomian gland expression techniques, and advanced technologies such as IPL therapy, RF therapy, and Rexon Eye.

  • Eye Drops

    Artificial tears, lubricating eye drops, and prescription eye drops can provide temporary relief from dry eye symptoms by adding moisture to the eyes.

    Depending on the cause and severity of the dry eye, eye drops may need to be used several times per day.

  • Meibomian Gland Expression

    This involves manually compressing the glands in the eyelids to express oils that prevent tears from evaporating too quickly. This can improve tear quality and quantity, reducing dry eye symptoms.

    One popular treatment is LipiFlow therapy, which uses heat and gentle pressure to liquefy and unblock oils in the glands. LipiFlow therapy is safe and effective, typically taking about 12 minutes per eye in office.

  • Advanced Technologies

    IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy and RF (Radiofrequency) therapy are advanced technologies that use light or energy to target the meibomian glands and improve the function of the oil- producing cells in the eyelids.

    Rexon Eye is a new technology that uses a proprietary technology to target both aqueous and evaporative dry eye causes.
