Dry Eye Treatment
What is dry eye?
Dry eye disease is a common condition where your tears aren’t sufficiently hydrating your eyes because they lack the correct ratio of three main components: oil, water, and mucus. When these are unbalanced, the results are itchy, uncomfortable, red, or fatigued eyes, as well as blurry vision and difficulty focusing. There are two main types of dry eye disease where your eyes either don’t produce enough tears, or your tears lack the proper amount of oil and evaporate quickly. No matter what causes your dry eye, we have customized ways to keep your eyes comfortable and healthy!
Kennedy Can Help You Get Relief From The Symptoms of Dry Eye
Our attentive team is here to ensure that you get the dry eye solutions you need by personalizing a care plan that includes lifestyle changes, eyedrops, eyelid wipes, and supplements that don’t just provide you with relief from itchy, uncomfortable symptoms: they relieve you of dry eye.
Our cutting-edge diagnostic technology can help identify one of the most common sources of dry eye disease: meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD). This condition occurs when your oil-producing glands that help lubricate your tears become clogged, preventing your eyes from staying moist. To help us know if your dry eye is being caused by MGD so we can better treat you, we’ve invested in advanced meibography which takes detailed images of your glands so we can diagnose and assess any damage.
Ocular Surface Disease: Our Advanced Treatments
Dry eye syndrome is a type of ocular surface disease. This term describes problems that arise when the surface layers of the eye, like the cornea and conjunctiva, suffer damage. Dry eye disease and blepharitis are two common forms of ocular surface disease. We have innovative treatments to address ocular surface disease at the source. Our treatments use radiofrequency and intense pulsed light devices to reduce inflammation, unclog oil glands, and eliminate mites and irregular veins. If you want to learn more about our new ocular surface disease treatments, schedule a consultation with us.
