Dry Eye Treatment in Englewood, Osprey & Sarasota
What’s Behind Dry, Irritated Eyes?
Dry eye results when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when your tear film becomes unbalanced. It can be caused by age, hormone changes, screen use, environment, or medical conditions.
For many people, dry eye is a chronic issue that worsens over time without treatment. Recognizing and treating the root cause early makes a significant difference in your comfort and long-term eye health.
Signs You May Be Dealing With Dry Eye
Dry eye symptoms may start mildly, but often become more disruptive. You might experience:
-
Burning or stinging
-
A gritty or sandy feeling
-
Light sensitivity
-
Redness or irritation
-
Blurry vision that comes and goes
-
Tired, heavy eyes
-
Watery eyes (as a reflex to dryness)
- Stringy mucuous around the lashline
If any of these sound familiar, a dry eye evaluation can help us identify the cause and recommend treatment that fits your needs.
