Dry eyes are uncomfortable and often times over-the-counter eye drops are not enough. If you have red, itchy, burning eyes, there is treatment available. We’ll evaluate the root cause of your dry eyes and recommend the right treatment for you.
Book a complete dry eye assessment and get relief from your dry eyes.
There are 2 main categories of dry eyes: poor tear quality and insufficient tear volume. Both can come from different causes, including infections, blockages, and even certain medications. During your complete dry eye assessment, we’ll evaluate your eyes using MOA-approved techniques to determine the root cause of your dry eyes. Once we know the cause of your dry eyes we can recommend the right treatment for you.
Overall health can influence your eye health, which is why lifestyle factors like diet are especially important. Certain nutrients, like omega-3 fatty acids, have been shown to help reduce dry eye symptoms by increasing the eye’s meibum (oil) levels. A diet that includes coldwater fish, nuts, leafy greens, or omega-3 supplements could improve your dry eye symptoms.
Get relief from dry eyes and ask your optometrist which treatment options are right for you at your next appointment.
What I look for in a specialist is professionalism and accuracy in diagnoses and treatment, and I have found that with Eye Central. The office is efficient, calm, and clean, supported by an excellent, polite staff. I have been pleased with the service for years, and I have no intention of switching.
I have always been pleased with my experiences at Eye Central where the staff are professional yet approachable and where my optometrist Dr. Foley is a good listener who makes time to offer thorough explanations and effective guidance regarding my eye health.
