Dry eye is a condition being diagnosed and managed more often these days. Not only is this condition found in an older population group but also in young age groups due to increased use of technology and decreased blink rate. This leads to an unstable tear film and therefore causing dry eye syndrome from digital eye strain. This condition can also arise from genetic corneal disorders, blepharitis, environmental factors and systemic conditions. Our clinic is equipped with various tests and the latest technology that allows us to better assess the tear film and diagnose the root cause of the dry eye. Special dyes are used primarily in making the diagnosis. Once diagnosed we can better determine the best form of treatment as each form of dry eye various from person to person. It is important to note that dry eye syndrome is a chronic condition and if not caught early enough will get worse and become harder to treat/manage. If symptoms of burning, itching, redness, tearing, or the feeling of sandy/gritty are experienced, it is important to have your ocular health assessed for dry eye syndrome as soon as possible to prevent worsening of the condition.
