Dry, Sandy, Gritty, Burning, Stinging, Itchy Eyes

Dry eyes can be a daily nuisance that greatly affects quality of life. It is not commonly known that besides dry, burning, stinging, and sandy feeling eyes, dry eyes affects your vision. Many cases of dry eyes are diagnosed from blurry vision that glasses or contacts do not improve with a healthy appearing eye. Also, many dry eye sufferers do not know that if left untreated, dry eyes will get worse becoming more resistant to treatment. Many of the glands responsible for tear production can also atrophy (die off) if dry eyes are not properly treated. At Insight Eyecare we focus on a custom plan to treat the source of the dry eyes, by doing more than using lubricant tears to cover the problem. We have invested in new technologies, education, and partnerships to best serve our dry eye patients. Book an appointment today so we may help you resolve your dry eyes.
