Helping You Manage Dry Eyes
Dry eyes can affect just about anyone and put a halt to your productivity. If you have dry eyes, you may find your eyes get tired faster, or blurry vision causes you to have difficulty reading. We aim to help preserve your quality of life and help you find relief.
Dry eyes can be caused by various factors, including excess screen time, environmental issues, and tear production problems. We aim to get to the bottom of your dry eye symptoms. Contact us to schedule an appointment, and we can help you find the right treatment option.
Request an AppointmentUnderstanding Dry Eye
Dry eye can occur when your eyes do not produce enough tears to stay lubricated or your eyes are not producing adequate quality tears. Your tears help reduce eye infections, wash away foreign matter, and keep your eye’s surface clear.
When the tear-producing glands in your eyes are not working correctly or become inflamed, you can experience chronic or acute dry eye. We can help you find relief!

We offer a wide range of dry eye treatments and technology to help diagnose dry eye and find you relief. Once we conduct a comprehensive eye exam, our team can start developing your personalized treatment plan.
Our patients get a 20% discount on their online purchase of dry eye products through Dry Eye Rescue with our exclusive discount code: CAROLINA.
Artificial Tears
Artificial tears are over-the-counter eye drops. These can be a good option for mild cases of dry eyes. Low-viscosity artificial tears are watery and can provide quick relief. In contrast, high-viscosity artificial tears are more gel-like and provide longer-lasting relief.
Prescription Eye Drops
Prescription drops that focus on treating the underlying cause of chronic dry eye. These drops focus on inflammation management and increasing your eyes’ ability to produce tears.
There are different types of prescription eye drops including RESTASIS, which addresses te underlying cause of your dry eyes.
IPL
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a treatment method that uses pulses of light to liquefy and release hardened oils that have clogged glands in the eyelids. IPL is a noninvasive treatment that focuses on the area below your eyes.
Punctal Plugs
Punctal plugs are tiny devices that are inserted in your eye’s tear ducts that help reduce tear loss. These tiny devices stop fluid from draining from your eye and keep your eye’s surface moist and comfortable, relieving some of the uncomfortable, burning symptoms of dry eye.
Punctal plugs come in temporary (dissolving) and semi-permanent forms.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Specialty contact lenses like scleral lenses are an excellent option for patients who may not be able to wear contacts due to issues like dry eye. Scleral contact lenses are different from traditional contacts. These lenses are larger and rest on the sclera, or white, of your eyes. Scleral lenses vault over the cornea, creating a hydration reservoir in the space between the lens and the eye.
