What can I do for my Dry Eye Disease?

A complete eye exam and appropriate testing is important to diagnose the cause of your dry eye syndrome.  Once we have determined the cause, we can treat it more effectively.

Simple things you can do include environmental monitoring, basic eye care, using supplemental tear drops and taking oral fish oil (see below).

Environmental monitoring includes not pointing the vent at your face in the car and giving your eyes a break after concentrated activities like reading or computer use every 20-30 minutes.  Basic eye care means taking off your makeup every night.  Dr. Pradhan can recommend additional and specific treatment of your dry eyes after a complete exam.

It could be as simple as sleeping with nighttime sleep googles, especially if you wake up with dry, burning, red eyes which get better after using tears or blinking in the morning.  See blog post about a video testimonial.

For treatment options, Dr. Pradhan provides a customized treatment plan for you.
