Dry Eye Treatment

About this Condition
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial condition where the tear film is insufficient in quantity or quality. It is increasingly common with screen use, air conditioning, and contact lens wear. Our dry eye clinic evaluates the full tear film profile and offers targeted treatment — from artificial tears and omega-3 supplementation to LipiFlow thermal pulsation and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dry eye permanent?
Dry eye is often chronic but very manageable. Modern treatments can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life. Early treatment prevents worsening.
Does screen use cause dry eye?
Yes. Screen use reduces blink rate and accelerates tear evaporation. Following the 20-20-20 rule (20-second break every 20 minutes, look at 20 feet) helps.
