Comprehensive Dry Eye Care with New Treatments Available
Ocular dryness can be uncomfortable and even damage the eye. Unfortunately, due to its complex nature, dry eye disease is often under-diagnosed, and when it is diagnosed, accurate assessment is difficult since common dry eye symptoms can mimic the same symptoms as those of other ailments like ocular allergies. However, there are procedures that can be done to look for markers of dry eye disease and aid in the diagnosis. Tests may include measuring the volume of your tears, testing the surface condition of your eyes, and taking tear samples to catch signs such as high levels of osmolarity. Diagnosis can be completed at your annual eye exam with one of our expert doctors.
