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.

Common Dry Eye Symptoms

  • Red, irritated, or bloodshot eyes
  • Excessive tearing, burning, or gritty sensations
  • Itchy eyes
  • Light sensitivity
  • Blurry or fluctuating vision

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.

How We Diagnose & Treat Dry Eye

We use advanced testing – including meibomian gland imaging and tear quality/quantity analysis – to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and tailor treatment.

Treatment options may include:

  • InMode Forma RF & Lumecca IPL
  • Prescription dry eye drops
  • Oil gland treatments
  • Proper eyelid hygiene
  • BlephEx, a gentle in-office eyelid exfoliation that removes bacteria, biofilm, toxins, and debris

Dry eyes aren’t just uncomfortable — they can affect your vision and long-term eye health. Schedule your dry eye evaluation today and find lasting relief.
