Dry eye care in St. Clair Shores, MI

Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Tears are essential for maintaining a smooth, healthy surface of the eye and for providing clear vision. When the tear film becomes unstable, patients may experience burning, irritation, redness, a gritty sensation, fluctuating vision, or excessive tearing.

​

Dry eye is very common and can be influenced by aging, screen use, environmental factors, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions. Treatment focuses on improving tear quality and reducing inflammation on the eye’s surface. Depending on the severity, treatment may include artificial tears, prescription medications, eyelid treatments, or procedures designed to improve the function of the tear glands.
