Striving to go Beyond 20/20
What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears isn’t sufficient to keep your eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to symptoms such as:
- Persistent dryness or a gritty sensation
- Redness and irritation
- Burning or stinging
- Blurred vision
- Excessive tearing (a sign of your eyes compensating for dryness)
Various factors, including aging, environmental conditions, prolonged screen time, certain medications, and underlying health conditions like autoimmune disorders, can cause dry eye.
Comprehensive Dry Eye Diagnosis
At Pacific Eye Doctors, we take a thorough approach to diagnosing dry eye. During your exam, we’ll assess your symptoms, review your medical history, and perform a series of tests to evaluate the quantity and quality of your tears. This allows us to identify the specific type of dry eye you have, whether it’s due to decreased tear production, increased tear evaporation, or a combination of factors.
