At Pink Vision Associates we provide advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions for Dry Eye syndrome. This condition arises when there's an imbalance between tear production and drainage, leading to symptoms such as itching, burning, redness, watery eyes, excessive tearing, and eye pain. Left untreated, Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) can exacerbate over time and potentially increase the risk of serious eye complications like corneal ulcers.
At our practice, we utilize cutting-edge diagnostic equipment and FDA-approved technology to accurately identify and address the underlying causes of your dry eye condition. We don't simply prescribe generic eye drops; instead, we create personalized treatment plans tailored to alleviate your symptoms and target the root cause of your discomfort.
Dry eye can stem from various factors, including Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), where blockages or issues with the meibomian glands reduce the lipid content in tears, leading to rapid evaporation. Approximately 86% of dry eye patients experience some form of meibomian gland dysfunction. Since each case of dry eye is unique, it's crucial to consult with an experienced specialist to evaluate your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment.
Not sure if you're experiencing Dry Eye Syndrome? Consider these common symptoms:
- Gritty, itchy, or stinging eyes
