Based on your answers

Low Risk

Your eyes seem comfortable most of the time — that’s a good sign.
But occasional dryness is often the first signal that your tear quality or eyelid oil glands may be changing. Without attention, these changes can progress and make your eyes more vulnerable to irritation.
Stay proactive: healthy habits like blinking more often, staying hydrated, and taking screen breaks can help maintain comfort and protect your eye health long-term.

Moderate Risk

You’re starting to experience symptoms that suggest your eyes are not staying properly lubricated — whether from screen time, allergies, or early oil gland issues.
If left untreated, mild dry eye often progresses, leading to increased irritation, blurred vision, and even damage to the tear film and ocular surface.
A timely check-up at EyeC can help identify the root cause and prevent your symptoms from becoming more severe.

High Risk

Your symptoms point to significant tear film or oil gland dysfunction.
Severe or chronic dry eye isn’t just uncomfortable — it can lead to inflammation, damage to the surface of the eye, and lasting effects on your vision and quality of life.
At EyeC, we offer advanced treatments like InMode IPL and RF, which target the underlying gland issues rather than just masking the symptoms. Combined with proper post-care, this approach can restore lasting comfort and protect your vision.
