Dry Eyes


Persistent dryness, scratching, and burning in your eyes can be signs of dry eye syndrome. Here is what you need to know.

This discomfort and inflammation many times is caused by tear hyperosmolarity which can result in ocular surface damage. We now have a Tear Osmolarity Test that we can use that provides the ophthalmologist with your tear function in "real time." This recent technology grades your tear value that helps us to determine your tear production and the appropriate treatment needed. One of the other big advantages of this "real time" testing is making comparisons to establish the effectiveness of a patient's dry eye regiment.
