Dry Eye Treatment in Oviedo, FL

If you think you may have dry eyes and need treatment, the best thing you can do is book an appointment with your optometrist. Dry eyes can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam that also includes tests for determining the quantity and quality of your tears.

Testing for dry eyes includes a discussion about your personal history and current medications, an examination of the structure of the lids and your blink dynamics, using bright light and magnification to evaluate your eyelids and cornea, and measuring the quality and quantity of your tears.

Although dry eyes can be chronic and irritating, there are a variety of treatment options available to you.

If your dry eyes are mild, you may be able to treat them with over the counter eye drops.

We can also prescribe ophthalmic medications, like eye drops that induce tear production, or eye drops, ointments, and cleaners to reduce inflammation. We can also insert punctal plugs if your dry eye is caused by your tears draining before they can lubricate the surface of your eyes. Additionally, if your dry eye is caused by blocked meibomian glands, a warm compress may be all it takes to loosen it up and improve dry eye symptoms.

We also carry a selection of nutritional supplements that have been shown to reduce the symptoms of dry eye and improve eye health.

If you are looking for treatment for your dry eyes, we offer comprehensive dry eye therapy at the Eye Avenue. Call today to book your eye exam.
