Dry Eye Exams

What is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a condition where the eyes don't produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, redness, and discomfort. It can also cause blurry vision and a feeling of grittyness in the eye. This condition can be caused by various factors, such as environmental conditions, aging, or health issues.

It can also be caused by an imbalance of your meibomian glands, which produce healthy oils to maintain your tear film, leading to a condition known as Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD). This imbalance can contribute to dry eye symptoms and affect tear quality, causing increased irritation and discomfort.
