What Causes Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye may develop when your eyes can’t make enough tears. Sometimes it stems from the eyes not making quality tears. If your eyes struggle to produce enough fluid or the fluid evaporates too rapidly, your eyes can quickly dry out.
Other causes may include:
How Our Dry Eye Doctors Diagnose Your Symptoms
First, our eye doctor may ask about your symptoms and when they occur. You will usually have to undergo a comprehensive eye exam. Our eye doctor may also want to measure your tears and possibly evaluate their composition.
Personalized Dry Eye Treatment & Relief
To keep your eyes thoroughly hydrated, we may prescribe eye drops that you use as needed or on a regular basis. These prescription eye drops are better quality compared to over-the-counter alternatives.
Our eye doctor will also suggest lifestyle changes you can make to increase your comfort. Recommendations usually include taking breaks from looking at screens for prolonged periods and blinking more frequently.
If you can’t wear contact lenses or find them uncomfortable because of dry eye, our eye doctor can prescribe lenses that will hydrate without irritating your eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a dry eye doctor?
You should see a dry eye doctor if you consistently experience stinging, burning, scratchiness, or excessive tearing in your eyes. If over-the-counter artificial tears are no longer providing relief, or if your dry eyes are making it difficult to wear contact lenses or look at screens, it’s time for a professional evaluation.
What is the best treatment for severe dry eyes?
The best treatment for severe dry eyes depends on the root cause of your symptoms. A dry eye specialist may prescribe high-quality lubricating eye drops, recommend specialty contact lenses that retain moisture, or utilize advanced in-office procedures like TempSure Envi to stimulate healthy tear production.
Can dry eye syndrome be cured permanently?
While chronic dry eye syndrome often cannot be cured permanently, it can be highly successfully managed. By working closely with an eye doctor, you can use a combination of prescription treatments, advanced therapies, and lifestyle adjustments to keep your eyes consistently comfortable and fully hydrated.
