What Causes Dry Eye?

There are a few key reasons you may be experiencing dry eye symptoms:

  • Decreased tear production
  • Excessive tear evaporation
  • Eyelid problems
  • Medications

How our Optometrist Can Diagnose Dry Eye

During a dry evaluation our Optometrists will measure:
  • Tear breakup time: Measures how quickly your tears evaporate.
  • Ocular surface staining: Uses eye drops to detect damaged areas on your eyes.
  • Meibomian gland evaluation: Checks if your oil glands are functioning normally.
  • Schirmer's test: Measures tear production.
