Dry eye disease (DED) is quite common and occurs when your tears no longer provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. It's estimated that roughly 6.8 percent of all adults suffer from this condition on an annual basis. Depending on the severity of the case, dry eye treatments can drastically improve the quality of life for DED sufferers.
If you suspect that you're suffering from dry eye disease, we urge you to complete the provided questionnaire. We've made it easier than ever to assess your current condition. By recognizing that you may suffer from DED, you may feel more motivated to stop into our optometrist office to consult with the eye doctor regarding your options for dry eye treatment. When you suffer from DED, you may not realize how simple the dry eye treatment options will be to incorporate into your daily routine, and often can significantly help your symptoms subside.
