Common Causes

What is Dry Eye?

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough or the right tears to keep them properly lubricated. This leads to irritation, discomfort, and vision problems.

Common Causes of Dry Eye Include :

Environmental factors:

Like wind, smoke, or air conditioning.

Aging:

As you age, tear production naturally decreases.

Extended screen use:

Staring at screens for long periods reduces blinking, leading to dry eyes.

Common Symptoms

Do You Have Dry Eye?

Recognizing the signs of dry eye is the first step in getting relief.

Common symptoms include:

Burning, stinging, or itchy eyes
Redness and irritation
Feeling like there’s something in your eye
Blurred vision, especially after reading or using screens
Excessive tearing (a sign your eyes are compensating for dryness)

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with Dr. Linda S. Botello at South Shore Vision Care to get an accurate diagnosis and customized treatment.

Pediatric Dry Eye Care

Dry eye isn’t just an issue for adults—it’s also increasingly common in children. Pediatric dry eye can occur because of screen use, environmental factors, or underlying medical conditions. Common symptoms include red, irritated eyes, frequent blinking, and complaints of blurry vision after screen use. We offer specialized treatments for pediatric dry eye, helping children find relief and protecting their long-term eye health.

We Offer Advanced

Dry Eye Treatments at South Shore Vision Care

We offer a range of treatment options for dry eye, including Lumenis OptiLight IPL therapy. Which targets the root cause of dry eye, helping to improve tear production and reduce inflammation.

Lumenis OptiLight IPL

OptiLight uses light pulses to address inflammation and improve the function of the meibomian glands, which are essential for healthy tear production. This non-invasive treatment is quick and painless, offering long-lasting relief for patients suffering from dry eye.

Lumenis OptiLift

OptiLIFT offers a breakthrough approach to treating eyelid-related dry eye. By gently stimulating and strengthening the muscles responsible for blinking, this non-surgical treatment improves eyelid closure and tear distribution.
