Understanding Dry Eye & How Laser Treatment Can Help
Dry, irritated eyes are a common concern— especially as seasons change or as we spend more time on digital devices. Millions of Americans experience Dry Eye Syndrome, a condition where the eyes don’ t produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. Left untreated, dry eyes can affect not only comfort but also vision and overall quality of life.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye can develop for several reasons, including:
- Aging: Tear production naturally decreases with age.
- Screen Time: Staring at computers or phones reduces blink rate, leading to faster tear evaporation.
- Environment: Dry, windy, or heated indoor air can strip moisture from the eyes.
- Medical Conditions & Medications: Certain conditions (like diabetes or autoimmune disorders) and medications (like antihistamines) can increase dryness.
- Hormonal Changes: Especially common in women during menopause.
Common Symptoms
You might have dry eye if you notice:
- Burning, stinging, or scratchy sensation
- Redness or irritation
- Blurry vision that improves with blinking
- Excessive tearing (a sign of eye irritation)
- Sensitivity to light
Advanced Solution: Laser Treatment for Dry Eye
Today, advanced technology offers new hope for patients suffering from chronic dry eye. Laser treatment for dry eye with Envision by In Mode targets the meibomian glands — tiny oil glands in your eyelids that often become blocked in dry eye patients.
By gently stimulating and unclogging these glands, this advanced treatment can:
- Improve natural tear production
- Reduce inflammation
- Restore a healthy tear film
- Provide longer-lasting relief compared to eye drops alone
