Dry Eye Treatment
Find relief from dry, itchy, irritated eyes.
Ocular Surface Disease (OSD) is a chronic, inflammatory eyelid condition and a leading cause of dry eye syndrome. Anyone can develop OSD, but the risk increases with age, contact lens wear, and prolonged digital device use.
If you’re experiencing red, burning, watery, or blurry eyes, our team can help. Book a dry eye appointment at Valley Vision Center for a personalized treatment plan.

What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye can be caused by OSD, blepharitis, allergies, medications, eyelid issues, and environmental irritants. It may also be linked to systemic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, diabetes, and lupus.
Evaporative Dry Eye
Often related to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), this occurs when the tear film’s oil layer is unstable, causing tears to evaporate too quickly-even if your eyes water more.
Aqueous-Deficient Dry Eye
This happens when the tear glands don’t produce enough watery tears due to inflammation, medications, or gland dysfunction.
