Dry Eye Treatments

Finally Find Relief From Dry, Irritated Eyes

Do your eyes often feel gritty, burning, watery, or tired — especially after screen time? Do you wake up with discomfort or redness that doesn’t seem to go away? You may be experiencing Dry Eye Syndrome, a condition that affects millions of people every day.

The good news: lasting relief is possible. At EyeC Optometry, we use advanced technology like Radiofrequency (RF) and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat the root cause of dry eye — not just the symptoms.

Do You Have Dry Eye? (Checklist)

If you experience two or more of these, it may be time for a professional evaluation:

• Eyes that feel burning, gritty, or sandy
  
  
• Excessive tearing (ironically a common dry eye symptom)
  
  
• Redness or irritation after long screen use
  
  
• Contact lens discomfort
  
  
• Blurred vision that improves after blinking
  
  

👉 If this sounds like you, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to live with it.

Common Causes of Dry Eye

• Digital Eye Strain – less blinking leads to unstable tears.
  
  
• Environmental Factors – wind, smoke, dry climate, air conditioning.
  
  
• Aging & Hormonal Changes – natural decline in tear quality.
  
  
• Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) – oil glands become clogged and stop protecting your tears.
  

Why Eye Drops Aren’t Always Enough

Over-the-counter drops can give temporary comfort, but they don’t fix the root cause.

Here’s how advanced treatments compare:

Over-the-Counter Drops

• Temporary relief only
  ‍
• Requires frequent use
  ‍
• No effect on glands
  ‍
• Doesn’t improve appearance

Advanced RF/IPL Treatments

• Treats the root cause
  ‍
• Long-lasting improvement
  ‍
• Restores gland function
  ‍
• Reduces redness & refreshes skin

What to Expect During Treatment

Your comfort comes first. Here’s what your visit looks like:

1. Consultation & Testing – We evaluate your tear film, glands, and symptoms.
   
   
2. In-Office Treatment – Depending on your plan, RF or IPL sessions typically take 30 minutes up to 1 hour. Treatments are gentle and many patients describe them as relaxing.
   
   
3. No Downtime – You can return to work, drive, or go about your day immediately after.
   
   
4. Ongoing Care – For best results, most patients complete a series of 3–4 treatments, then maintain relief with touch-ups once or twice a year.
