Dry Eye Treatment at Cedar Park Eye Care
Dry eye syndrome affects millions of people, causing symptoms like irritation, burning, and blurred vision. At Cedar Park Eye Care, we understand how these symptoms can disrupt daily life.
Led by Dr. Dennis McCarty, our team offers comprehensive dry eye treatments tailored to address the root causes of your symptoms and improve your comfort.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly.
Some common causes include:
- Age: Tear production decreases naturally over time.
- Environment: Wind, smoke, and dry climates can cause tears to evaporate faster.
- Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and thyroid issues can increase dry eye risk.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as antihistamines and blood pressure drugs, can reduce tear production.
- Contact Lenses: Long-term use can irritate the eyes and lead to dryness.
- Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): Blocked oil glands can accelerate tear evaporation.
Treatment Options for Dry Eye
Dr. McCarty provides a range of treatments, including:
- Artificial Tears: Over-the-counter or prescription drops to supplement natural tears.
- Prescription Medications: Reduce inflammation and stimulate tear production.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Simple changes, like using a humidifier, can improve comfort.
- In-Office Treatments: Advanced options, such as meibomian gland expression, for more severe cases.
