The Facts about Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease occurs when your tears cannot keep your eyes properly lubricated. This can be due to insufficient tear production or poor-quality tears.
Your tears are made up of 3 important layers:
- Oily layer
- Watery layer
- Mucus layer
The 3 key layers of your tears work together to keep your eyes nourished and comfortable. If any of these layers are disrupted, dry eye symptoms can develop.
Common Causes of Dry Eye
Dry eye can be caused by a number of different factors, including:
- Age & hormonal changes
- Certain medications
- Health conditions (e.g., diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis)
- Environmental factors (dry air, dust)
- Long-term contact lens use
- Refractive surgery side effects
When you visit us for a comprehensive eye assessment, we’ll determine what is causing your uncomfortable symptoms and recommend a treatment based on your lifestyle and vision needs.
Signs & Symptoms of Dry Eye
You may be experiencing dry eye if you notice symptoms such as:
- A scratchy or gritty feeling
- Sensitivity to light
- Redness & blurred vision
- Excessive watering of the eyes
- A feeling like something is in your eye
If you are experiencing the uncomfortable symptoms of dry eye disease, we can help you find relief.
Personalized Dry Eye Solutions
We offer a variety of treatments tailored to your needs. Our team will assess the root cause of your dry eye and recommend the best solutions for long-lasting relief. We offer:
- Artificial tears: Over-the-counter eye drops to lubricate and soothe
- Hot compress: Gentle heat to stimulate oil production and reduce evaporation
- Regener-Eyes: Prescription eye drops to promote healing and reduce inflammation
- Restasis: Prescription drops to increase tear production
- Xiidra: Targets inflammation for quick relief from dry eye symptoms
Artificial tears are eye drops used to provide moisture to the eyes. They typically contain the same elements as natural tears to help soothe symptoms.
There are plenty of brands and varieties of artificial tears available over the counter, so it is best to talk with your optometrist for a recommendation on what type is suitable for your needs.
A hot compress can help hydrate your eyes and bring you relief from the irritating symptoms of dry eye disease. The gentle heat allows the tiny oily secreting glands along your eyelids, called the meibomian glands, to improve the flow of oil to your tears and slow down tear evaporation.
Typically, you microwave your hot compress for 20–25 seconds and apply it over your closed eyes for 10–20 minutes or as recommended by your eye doctor.
Regener-Eyes is a natural, biologic prescription eye drop that helps stimulate the body’s ability to repair and regenerate. This effective eye drop solution is made up of anti-inflammatory proteins that promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Use 1–4 eye drops per eye per day or as recommended by your eye doctor.
Restasis is a prescription eye drop that treats dry eye symptoms caused by decreased tear production due to inflammation. Using Restasis twice a day, every day, at least 12 hours apart, can help increase tear production and bring moisture back to your eyes.
Xiidra is a prescription eye drop that targets the source of inflammation that can cause uncomfortable dry eye symptoms. When used twice daily, you can experience lasting relief in as little as 2 weeks.
Miebo drops are a gentle, preservative-free option designed to soothe dry, irritated eyes by supporting your natural tear film. At Rock optiX, we recommend Miebo drops to help restore comfort and hydration for those experiencing mild to moderate dry eye symptoms.
