Dry Eye Management at Elite Eyecare provides personalized treatment plans to relieve discomfort and restore eye health, addressing the root causes of dry eye for lasting relief.
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is insufficient to keep your eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to symptoms like irritation, redness, burning, a gritty sensation, and even blurred vision. If not properly managed, chronic dry eye can lead to damage to the corneal surface, increasing the risk of eye infections and impacting your vision.
