dry eye explained
In 2017 dry eye was redefined as “a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface…” Dry eye is a disease that afflicts over 30 million people in the United States alone. We know that dry eye is more than just an inconvenience; it’s burning eyes, redness, watering, pain, blurry vision, contact lens intolerance, a disease that can affect your quality of life. We saw these symptoms in many of our patients, but unfortunately it’s nearly impossible to address the complexity that is dry eye during a routine examination. Thus, the Dry Eye Center at Optique was born.

If you suffer from Dry Eye Disease you have probably tried multiple over the counter remedies, some may even have been recommended by your doctor. There’s a reason these remedies only provide short term relief; they aren’t addressing the underlying problem. At the dry eye treatment center at Optique we spend quality time with you discussing your symptoms, thoroughly evaluating your tears and ocular surface, and developing a plan to help you achieve long term relief from your dry eye symptoms.
