What Is Dry Eye?
Your eyes produce tears in the following two ways:
- At a steady, gradual rate to lubricate the eyes
- In large quantities due to eye irritation or an emotional response
Dry eye syndrome (DES) is the lack of adequate lubrication on the eye’s surface that results in chronic dryness, redness, and irritation.

What Causes Dry Eye?
Various factors can cause DES, with age being one of the most common causes. Since tear production naturally decreases as you get older, DES occurs more frequently in adults over age 40. Women are more susceptible to developing DES than men.
Having Sjogren’s syndrome can increase your risk of developing DES, as this condition is often associated with dry eyes, dry mouth, and arthritis. People who live in dry, windy, and dusty climates with low humidity levels often suffer from DES due to the lack of moisture in the air.
DES is also a common side effect of medications like antidepressants, antihistamines, birth control pills, Parkinson’s disease medications, and certain blood pressure medicines. Since these medications are necessary to maintain a patient’s health, DES is often treated with artificial tears.
Dry Eye Treatment Options
DES is a chronic condition that must be managed effectively to reduce symptoms. As your local dry eye specialist, we have the treatment options you need.

Artificial Tears

Conserving Tears

Lubricating Ingredients
Dry Eye Diagnosis
How can you tell the difference between acute dry eye and chronic dry eye? By undergoing a comprehensive eye exam. If an eye exam alone doesn’t tell us whether you have DES, we will administer various tests to measure your eyes’ natural tear production. One of these tests is called a Schirmer tear test. During this test, a vision specialist places filter paper strips under your lower eyelids to measure how tear production varies under different conditions. We may also administer a diagnostic eye drop, like fluorescein or rose bengal, to determine dryness patterns on the eye’s surface.
