We’ll Get to the Root Cause of Your Dry Eye

Chronic dry eye can get in the way of your daily activities. If you’re looking for quick relief, home remedies like a humidifier, eye drops, and warm compresses can help. However, long-term relief starts at Maine Optometry, where our dry eye doctors have the tools and knowledge to get to the underlying cause of your condition and find the best ways to treat it!

What is Dry Eye Disease?

If you’re experiencing discomfort like scratchiness and grittiness, it could be due to dry eye disease: an imbalance in your tear’s oily, watery, and mucus layers. This can lead to either a decrease in tear production or an increase in tear evaporation. Although the disease itself is not often too serious, if left untreated, your symptoms may eventually start to worsen.

Symptoms

The symptoms of dry eye disease can be incredibly uncomfortable, but you don’t have to live with them. Come see us if you’re experiencing eye redness, burning, stinging, blurry vision, irritation, excessive tearing, or mucus in or around your eyes. We also recommend coming in if it’s painful to wear contacts.

Risk Factors

Many factors can contribute to your dry eye, such as certain diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid disease, or lifestyle habits like extended screen usage. Other risk factors include smoke, wind, dry climates, contact lenses, and some medications.

Our Advanced Tech
Provides Rapid Relief

Our approach to dry eye disease treatment is rooted in our state-of-the-art technologies that allow us to identify the root cause of your discomfort. Our process begins with a comprehensive eye exam and pre-testing to determine if dry eye is the cause of your symptoms. If we do diagnose you for dry eye disease, our friendly eye doctors will develop a tailored treatment plan that includes one or more of our many advanced eye care solutions.
