Dry Eyes, in This Climate?

Eye Q can help you find relief from dry eye symptoms. We’re especially good at it and always ready to help you find your solution.

Finding Your Treatment

Dry eyes are typically caused by 1 of 2 reasons: either your body isn’t producing enough tears, or your body produces low-quality tears that evaporate too quickly.

Tears comprise 3 layers: aqueous (watery), mucus, and oil. These 3 components should come together to protect and lubricate your eye. But when things go awry, we need to treat your eyes to ensure they continue to function properly.

Here’s what we can do:

• BlephEx—a cleaning procedure to help you maintain healthy and clean eyelids
• LipiFlow—warms the glands in your eyes to increase oil secretion into your tears
• Lumenis Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)—helps to unclog glands in your eyelids and increase oil secretion
• PRN Dry Eye Formula—nutraceutical supplements that promote healthy tear generation
• Restasis—eye drops that help you make more of your own tears and reduce inflammation in your eyes
• Xiidra—prescription eye drops to reduce inflammation and promote healthy tears
• EYSUVIS—a corticosteroid treatment for short-term fast relief of dry eye symptoms
