Dry Eye Syndrome

We begin with an advanced analysis of your tear film composition, ocular surface health, and meibomian gland function. Based on these definitive metrics, Dr. Calotti will identify the specific root cause of your discomfort to build a customized, medical-grade treatment protocol. Most patients achieve significant, sustainable relief through our tailored therapeutic combinations, and we will follow up closely to ensure your ongoing visual comfort.

Understanding Dry Eve Syndrome

Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to irritation, blurred vision, and discomfort that affects quality of life.

Common Conditions:

Burning, stinging, or gritty sensation
Intermittent blurry vision
Redness or excessive tearing
Light sensitivity

What Causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye results from many factors, including aging, hormonal changes, medications, autoimmune disease, contact lens use, or prolonged screen time. Environmental influences such as wind or dry air can worsen symptoms.

How Dry Eve Is Treated

Treatment focuses on identifying the underlying cause and restoring tear film balance. Options may include lubricating drops, prescription medications, in-office treatments, and lifestyle adjustments.
