WHAT IS DRY EYE?

Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes do not produce healthy, stable tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to symptoms like burning, blurry vision, redness, irritation, watery eyes, and eye fatigue. For many patients, dry eye is caused by inflammation and blocked oil glands within the eyelids — not simply a lack of moisture. That’s why temporary solutions like eye drops often fail to address the root cause of symptoms.

COMMON DRY EYE SYMPTOMS

Dry eye symptoms can range from mild irritation to constant daily discomfort. Common signs of dry eye disease include:

​

  • Burning or stinging

  • Redness

  • Blurry vision

  • Light sensitivity

  • Watery eyes

  • Contact lens discomfort

  • Tired or heavy-feeling eyes

  • Fluctuating vision during screen use

​

Many patients are surprised to learn these symptoms are often connected to inflammation and tear instability.

HOW IS DRY EYE EVALUATED?

At Lafayette Eye Specialists, we focus on identifying and treating the underlying cause of dry eye symptoms rather than simply masking discomfort. Using advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment planning, we help patients improve long-term eye comfort, tear quality, and daily visual function. A comprehensive dry eye evaluation helps us better understand the cause of your symptoms and determine which treatments may be most effective for your eyes.

​

Your evaluation may include:

  • Tear film analysis

  • Meibomian gland imaging

  • Eyelid evaluation

  • Inflammation assessment

  • Personalized symptom review

​

Because no two patients experience dry eye in the same way, treatment recommendations are customized to your symptoms, lifestyle, and eye health needs.
