Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren’t able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. This can be due to insufficient tear production or poor quality of tears that evaporate too quickly. Symptoms of dry eye include a stinging, burning sensation, redness, watery eyes, and blurred vision. Without proper management, dry eye can lead to discomfort, reduced quality of life, and potential damage to the eye surface.
Our Comprehensive Dry Eye Treatments
At Dr. Zaid Chaudhry and Associates, we understand how frustrating and uncomfortable living with dry eye can be. Our clinic offers a range of advanced treatments and personalized care plans to help manage symptoms and improve eye health:
Diagnostic Tests
We utilize the latest diagnostic tools to measure tear volume and quality, helping to tailor treatment to your specific needs.
Prescription Eye Drops
We offer various types of medicated drops to increase tear production, reduce inflammation, or help your natural tears stay longer on your eyes.
Punctal Plugs
For cases where tears drain too quickly, we can insert tiny silicone plugs into the tear ducts to slow the drainage, keeping your eyes more lubricated.
Meibomian Gland Expression
A procedure to clear blocked glands on the eyelids that contribute to tear production, improving the oil layer of the tears.
Lifestyle and Home Remedies Advice
We provide recommendations on changes you can make at home or work to reduce dry eye symptoms, such as using humidifiers, wearing protective eyewear, and taking regular breaks during screen use.
