Why Are My Eyes Dry?

Itchiness, blurry vision, constant blinking? It’s possible you might have Dry Eye Syndrome (DES). Dry Eye Syndrome is a disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to your eyes.

Here are five symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome:

1. Eye fatigue or headaches
2. Sensitivity to light
3. Red, itchy, or burning eyes
4. Overly watery eyes
5. Stringy mucus in or around the eye

Did any of these symptoms resonate with you? Don’t worry! Wake Family Eye Care is here to help treat you and bring some comfort to your eyes.

DES occurs due to a lack of moisture in the eye. This typically means your tear ducts aren’t producing enough tears for your eyes to keep them lubricated to function without sensitivity or itchiness. Contacts, medications, and hormonal changes can all lead to DES. There’s currently no way to completely resolve DES; however, our Dry Eye Treatment can help provide instant relief.

We offer a variety of Dry Eye Treatments, which involve the use of therapeutic heat, pressure, and removing the biofilm, or a combination of multiple methods.

• Mibo® Thermoflo
