Dry Eye Care

Dry eyes can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination. We will take a detailed history, including your symptoms, general health problems, medications and environmental factors as they may be contributing to your dry eye problem. We will perform an external examination of your eyes, including evaluating your lid structure, blink dynamics and corneal surface. We may measure the quantity and quality of tears for any abnormalities. Special dyes may be put into your eyes to better observe tear flow and evaluate the outer surface of the eye and how it’s affected by dryness. After this evaluation, our eye doctors can determine if you have dry eyes and advise you on treatment options.
