Dry Eye

Dry eye, or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, occurs due to insufficient tear production or poor tear quality.

Factors like aging, certain medications, environmental conditions, and prolonged screen time can contribute to dry eye. Consult an eye care professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment of dry eye to prevent complications and enhance eye comfort.

Dry eye disease is a common condition that many Americans suffer from daily. Symptoms related to dry eye include blurred vision, irritation, burning and general discomfort. When problems such as these occur and do not get properly treated, it can cause complications with your glasses and contacts and can lead to a lifetime of unnecessary discomfort.

At Morris Eye Group we aim to identify a treatment plan individual to each patient. Some treatment options include prescription medication and in office procedures. Unraveling the complex interplay of these symptoms requires specific testing, using the latest eye-surface diagnostic lab tests as well as a thoughtful medical evaluation.
